This herb is sweet and cold and good at clearing and resolving heat-phlegm. When phlegm-heat removed, lung qi is purified and cough is stopped.

For phlegm-fire stirring up manifested by chest oppression, profuse phlegm, restlessness and insomnia, it is combined with phlegm-resolving and tranquilization herbs so as to obtain the action of clearing and resolving heat-phlegm as well as tranquilization and removing restlessness. For instance it is combined with Zhi Shi, Ban Xia and Fu Ling in Wen Dan Tang from Qian Jin Fang. For restlessness due to deficiency and insomnia caused by yin deficiency with phlegm-fire, it is combined with yin-nourishing and heart-calming herbs. For instance it is combined with Mai Dong, Xiao Mai and Da Zao in Dan Zhu Ru Tang from Qian Jin Fang.

This herb can clear stomach heat to check adverse rising of qi and relieve vomiting. It works as a key herb for vomiting due to stomach heat. It is usually combined with other stomach-clearing and vomiting-relieving herbs.

For vomiting and belching due to stomach deficiency with heat, it is combined with qi tonics and stomach-harmonizing and adverse rising of qi-checking herbs.
