Buddha's hand fruit relieves constraint, regulates the qi, transforms phlegm, harmonizes the middle - Bensky

Excerpted from Bensky - Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica

  • Spreads and regulates the Liver qi: for Liver qi constraint leading to chest or hypochondrial pain or a stifling sensation in the chest. This herb strongly promotes the movement of qi, but its ability to alleviate pain is weak.*
  • Harmonizes the Stomach and strengthens the Spleen: for Spleen and Stomach qi stagnation with epigastric pain, fullness and distention, lack of appetite, belching and/or vomiting.*
  • Transforms phlgem and stops coughs: for subacute or chronic cough with copious phlegm. Especially useful for unrelenting cough with chest pain. Because its phlegm-transforming function is rather weak, it is not used in treating the early stages of externally-contracted coughs.*
