Ingredients

Fo Shou - Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus

Excerpted from Bensky - Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica

• Spreads and regulates the Liver qi: for Liver qi constraint leading to chest or hypochondrial pain or a stifling sensation in the chest. This herb strongly promotes the movement of qi, but its ability to alleviate pain is weak.
• Harmonizes the Stomach and strengthens the Spleen: for Spleen and Stomach qi stagnation with epigastric pain, fullness and distention, lack of appetite, belching and/or vomiting.
• Transforms phlgem and stops coughs: for subacute or chronic cough with copious phlegm. Especially useful for unrelenting cough with chest pain. Because its phlegm-transforming function is rather weak, it is not used in treating the early stages of externally-contracted coughs.
