Notes

  • Addresses Turbid Dampness that blocks the Middle Jiao and disrupts the Spleen's ability to transform and transport.
  • Its main use is for Summer-Heat that affects the Spleen and Stomach.
  • It is applied when rotting food in the Stomach produces bad breath.
  • It relieves turbid stagnation and obstruction, tightness of the chest or abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and morning sickness.
  • Hb. Agastaches/Pogostemonis Huo Xiang, Fol. Perillae Zi Su Ye, and Rz. Phragmitis Lu Gen each help control vomiting: Huo Xiang excels at transforming Dampness, Zi Su Ye at releasing the exterior, and Lu Gen at clearing Stomach Heat.
  • Agastache was the traditional source plant, but over the last hundred years Pogostemonis has been grown and substituted for it. Some sources hold that this herb addresses Wind-Cold invasion with underlying internal Dampness.
  • It is frequently paired with Hb. Eupatorii Pei Lan, which works best for excessive salivation and an unpleasant, sticky mouth sensation, whereas Huo Xiang is more effective for releasing the exterior and stopping vomiting.
  • Huo Xiang and Hb. Eupatorii Pei Lan both dispel Summerheat and transform Dampness, and are commonly combined. Huo Xiang is better suited to expelling externally-contracted Cold during hot summer weather, while Pei Lan is milder, more harmonizing, and less dispersing.
