This herb addresses what is termed "waist and leg Qi."
It has a fairly mild action and works best when combined with other herbs.
Xiang Yuan and Fr. Citri Sarcodactylis Fo Shou share a similar warm nature. Xiang Yuan specifically regulates Lung and Spleen Qi and disperses Phlegm and pathogenic water, treating cough from obstructed Qi; the pith and kernels are best removed since their sour taste causes excess astringency. Fo Shou, by contrast, acts on the Stomach to break up Qi Stagnation, addressing nausea, vomiting and dysenteric disorders with tenesmus.
Dry-fried Citron (Chao Xiang Yuan or Zhi Xiang Yuan) has a milder acrid, dispersing effect and is less drying.
Pericarpium Citri Xiang Yuan Pi circulates Qi more strongly.
