In the formula, Pinellia serves as the monarch herb, lowering adverse qi and harmonizing the stomach, drying dampness and resolving phlegm. Bamboo Shavings, as the minister herb, clears heat and resolves phlegm, stops vomiting and relieves irritability. Immature Orange Fruit, also a minister herb, moves qi and disperses phlegm, allowing phlegm to descend with qi. Dried Tangerine Peel, as the assistant herb, regulates qi and dries dampness, while Poria invigorates the spleen and drains dampness. Ginger, Jujube, and Liquorice Root, as the envoy herbs, benefit the spleen and harmonize the stomach, coordinating the actions of the other herbs. When combined, these herbs work together to regulate qi and resolve phlegm, clearing the gallbladder and harmonizing the stomach.
