Anmerkungen

  • This herb has recently been used to raise blood pressure.
  • It frequently appears in purgative and diuretic formulas.
  • Zhi Shi is the unripe fruit, while the ripe fruit is called Fr. Aurantii Zhi Ke; the two work synergistically together.
  • Its descending action is intense.
  • The husk Zhi Qiao, taken from a larger fruit, has a gentler action and is used for patients with Yin Deficiency.
  • It is mainly used for Qi Stagnation in the Spleen and Stomach.
  • It is used when stagnant Qi has a Hot nature.
  • It also suits Stagnation in the chest and upper back.
  • At a moderate dosage it can treat allergies.
  • Zhi Shi and Fr. Aurantii Zhi Ke are one fruit harvested at two different stages — Zhi Shi unripe, Zhi Ke nearly ripe — and both break up Qi, disperse clumps and Phlegm, and relieve focal distention. Zhi Shi governs the lower trunk (Heart, abdomen, Spleen, Stomach) with a forceful nature suited to driving Qi downward, while Zhi Ke governs the upper trunk (chest, diaphragm, skin, body hair) and moves Qi more gently and gradually through the chest, diaphragm, Lungs, Stomach, and Large Intestine.
  • Dry-fried unripe Bitter Orange Chao Zhi Shi is slightly warmer and milder in nature, making it usable in both Hot and Cold disorders.
  • Dry-fried Goose-Eyed Unripe Bitter Orange Chao E Yan Zhi Shi is somewhat stronger than Chao Zhi Shi.
  • Charred Unripe Bitter Orange Zhi Shi Tan is slightly less cold, enters the Blood level to stop bleeding, and is commonly used for Qi blockage disorders accompanied by bleeding, such as Intestinal Wind.
