Notes

  • As a mild herb it is suited to early-stage Cold symptoms.
  • It works well when both cough and Stomach involvement point to a Cold pattern.
  • Its action reaches both the Qi and Blood levels.
  • Because it contains a natural food preservative, it can be used, within limits, to keep food from spoiling.
