The formula heavily utilizes Coix Seed to drain dampness and expel pus, lightly employs Aconite Lateral Root to support yang qi and disperse cold-dampness, and is assisted by Patrinia to break blood stasis and expel pus. Combined, these ingredients work together to drain dampness, expel pus, break blood stasis, and reduce swelling.
