In the formula, Mentha, Notopterygium, and Saposhnikovia Root release the exterior with pungent-cool properties; Chinese Angelica and Sichuan Lovage Rhizome nourish the blood and activate blood circulation, as when blood flows, wind naturally dissipates; Gardenia clears liver heat and promotes urination; Rhubarb Rhizoma purges excess fire, relieves dryness accumulation, and facilitates the smooth passage of urine and stool, allowing heat toxins to descend, thereby reducing redness and swelling; Liquorice Root harmonizes the various herbs. Combined, these ingredients work together to disperse wind, dissipate heat, clear the liver, and drain fire.
