Description

Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.

• Benefits the qi, generates fluids, and nourishes the yin: for yin deficiency with heat signs and chronic, unabating fever. Also for aftermath of a febrile disease with such symptoms as weakness, irritability, and thirst.*
• Nurtures the Lung yin and clears fire from the Lungs: for Lung qi deficiency, which impairs the clearing and dispersing functions of the Lungs. The primary manifestation is long-term wheezing and coughing up blood-streaked sputum. Also for coughs, coughing up blood, and loss of voice due to Lung yin deficiency.*
