Formula

This formula is traditionally used for treating copious phlegm. This problem is created by a digestive disharmony. In Chinese medicine, phlegm in the stomach leads to distention, copious sputum, a greasy tongue coating, and a slippery pulse. Heat in the gallbladder creates a bitter taste in the mouth. The combination of phlegm and heat causes organ dysfunction, which may lead to dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Phlegm heat may also cause irritability, insomnia, palpitations, and anxiety. Chinese medicine also states that all strange diseases are due to phlegm, and therefore, this formula may also be used for seizures, and mental disorders.

Bamboo (zhu ru) clears heat and phlegm and helps treat coughing and other signs of rebellious qi. Bitter orange (zhi qiao) reverses rebellious Qi and helps reduce distension. Turmeric (jiang huang) treats painful wind obstruction and drives Qi downward. Tangerine (chen pi) dries dampness and expels phlegm, while improving circulation in the stomach. The combination of poria (fu ling) and licorice (gan cao) strengthens the spleen and leaches out dampness. Grass-Leaf Sweetflag (shi chang pu) opens the orifices, vaporizes phlegm, and quiets the spirit. It is used for epigastric fullness, abdominal pain due to dampness, dizziness, dulled senses, and seizures.
