Mirabilite assists Rhubarb Rhizoma in clearing heat and removing toxins, purging and promoting bowel movement, acting as the minister. Peach Kernel and Moutan Cortex invigorate blood and resolve stasis, serving as the assistant. Waxgourd Seed Pus-Expelling Powder consolidates the effects, acting as the envoy. The combination of the five ingredients works together to purge heat, expel stasis, disperse nodules, and eliminate abscesses.
