 As a medicinal herb, its role in traditional Chinese medicine is to suppress cough and wheezing by dissolving phlegm and guiding Lung Qi downward. It is commonly incorporated into herbal formulas for various types of asthma and cough conditions.
 
 Perilla Seed is moistening and lubricates the intestines and may be useful in blends for dryness and constipation.
 
 The aroma of Zi Su Zi cold pressed oil is subtle and slightly nutty.
 
 For example, in cases of coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort due to cold phlegm obstructing the lungs, practitioners may consider diluting a blend of Hou Po (Cortex Magnolia officinalis), Eucalyptus Globulus Zhi Ke (Fructus aurantium), White Pine or Gui Zhi/Gui Ye (Cinnamon twig and leaf), and a small percentage of Xing Ren (Semen Armenicae). This can be applied as a warm compress over the chest and diffused for inhalation.
