Tangerine peel and Fresh Ginger Rhizome regulate qi and harmonize the middle, aiding the movement of the tonifying herbs, and serve as assistant and envoy herbs. When these herbs are used together, they collectively achieve the effect of tonifying qi and blood, and stopping deficiency-type malaria.
