- Da Fu Pi and Sm. Arecae Bing Lang both send Qi downward, help remove pathogenic water and reduce edema. Da Fu Pi is acrid and light, descends Qi more moderately, and disperses both formless and formed Qi Stagnation, while also clearing and unblocking Excess Phlegm from the Spleen and Stomach. Bing Lang, bitter, acrid and heavy, has a strongly sinking nature that forcefully sends Qi downward, breaks up Qi Stagnation, drains formed Qi Stagnation, treats edematous swelling of the skin, and kills parasites.
