bubble_chart Formula Principles
In the formula, ginseng, poria, atractylodes, and licorice are used to boost the original qi; ligusticum, angelica, and peony root to nourish yin and blood; costus, amomum, citrus, and aconite to move qi and disperse cold; platycodon root to relieve fullness in the chest and diaphragm; lindera to regulate the qi of the middle and lower burners; and submature bitter orange and immature orange fruit to disperse stagnation in the upper and lower parts. When these herbs are used together, not only are the formless pathogens immediately dispersed, but even the tangible ones can be gradually eliminated. Moreover, they expel pathogens without harming the healthy qi, truly as stated in the Neijing: "When there is a cause, there is no harm, and there is also no harm."
