Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed.

• Clears heat, resolves toxicity, and improves the condition of the throat: for swelling and pain of the throat due to fire excess, fire toxin, or phlegm-heat obstruction. Sometimes used alone for a sore throat.
• Transforms phlegm and clears the Lungs: for cough and wheezing with phlegm obstruction. Its effect on phlegm is so strong that it is combined with warming herbs in treating obstruction and clogging due to cold-phlegm.
