Dampness-heat stagnation and steaming, with heat predominating over dampness. Therefore, the formula uses Gardenia to clear and drain the triple energizer and regulate the water passages, allowing dampness-heat to be expelled through urination; Phellodendron Bark clears heat with its bitter and cold nature, and also has the ability to dry dampness; Liquorice Root sweetly moderates and supports the spleen, while also preventing the bitter and cold from injuring the stomach.
