Can Sha and Fr. Chaenomelis Mu Gua both harmonize the Middle, eliminate Dampness, and treat cramping following vomiting and diarrhea. Mu Gua is the more effective of the two at harmonizing the Middle, removing Dampness, calming the Liver, and relaxing the sinews, and it can also be used for Blood Deficiency with Liver Excess where malnourished tendons cause cramps and pain. Can Sha, for its part, is well suited to expelling Wind for Wind-Dampness and is also effective against itching.
