Platycodon Root causes the qi and the actions of other herbs to rise, soothes the throat, releases the exterior, transforms phlegm, expels pus.* - Bensky

Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica

• Opens up and disseminates the Lung qi, dispels phlegm, and benefits the throat: for cough or wheezing with profuse sputum, throat pain, and loss of voice. Can be used for cough with profuse sputum from either cold or heat.*
• Pushes out pus: for expelling pus associated with Lung abscess or throat abscess. The traditional disease of Lung abscess is marked by fevers, chest pain, coughing of yellow sputum with a fishy smell, along with coughing up of blood and pus.*
• Opens up and raises the Lung qi, while also directing the actions of other herbs to the upper regions of the body: used not only to reinforce the actions of other herbs that clear and drain the upper burner, but also whenever the actions of a formula should be focused on the upper regions of the body.*
