The Stomach enjoys fragrant aromas and indeed Mu Xiang oil unblocks and harmonizes the functions of the digestive organs and alleviates all kinds of digestive dysfunction and discomfort whether the causes are physical or emotional. Due to its affinity with the Triple Burner, it helps to normalize the upward and downward movement of the Qi and open the three jiao.

Ni Zhu Mo in his Ming Dynasty Ben Cao Hui Yan praised the wide scope of Mu Xiang’s Qi regulating action, "Auklandia harmonizes the stomach, frees the Heart Qi, downbears the Lung Qi, dredges the Liver Qi, quickens the spleen Qi, warms the Kidney Qi, disperses accumulated Qi, warms cold Qi, normalizes counterflow Qi, reaches exterior Qi, and frees interior Qi. In sum, it governs various Qi throughout the body."
