Notas

  • Its mild astringency makes it a common choice for tenesmus.
  • Used mainly for severe Qi disturbance presenting with pain, digestive upset, or bloating accompanied by diarrhea.
  • It has pronounced antiseptic properties and is applied to vaginal and bronchial infections.
  • Applied topically, its essential oils serve as an antiseptic.
  • It moves Qi through all three Jiaos.
  • It relieves pain of every type — Stagnation, Cold, Heat, Excess, and Deficiency.
  • It is particularly effective for upper abdominal and periumbilical pain.
  • It suits stagnant Qi in the chest and abdomen accompanied by diarrhea.
  • It has also been used successfully for asthma.
  • It is also described as aromatic and drying.
  • It treats chest pain, vomiting, diarrhea (when baked), anorexia, cold epigastric pain, and peptic ulcers.
  • Some sources describe it as warming the Center and harmonizing the Stomach.
  • Mu Xiang and Rz. Cyperi Xiang Fu share a bitter, acrid nature, both promoting Qi flow, relieving pain, and, notably, entering the San Jiao channel. Mu Xiang mobilizes Qi clumped in the Stomach and Intestine channels and reduces Food Stagnation, treating epigastric fullness, abdominal distention, and diarrhea. Xiang Fu dredges and disperses Qi Stagnation in the Stomach and Liver, excelling at relieving Liver Qi Stagnation, regulating menstruation, and stopping pain, and is used for emotional constraint, distending rib and flank pain, and irregular menstruation.
  • Baked Aucklandia, Wei Mu Xiang, has less oil and a milder acrid, dispersing quality; its drying, restraining action awakens the Spleen and stops diarrhea, making it suitable for Spleen Yin Deficiency.
  • Rx. Vladimiriae Chuan Mu Xiang is similar in action but milder.
