Actions and indications: Induce vomiting of phlegm-drool. Indicated for the treatment of exuberant phlegm-drool obstructing in the chest and diaphragm due to qi deficiency, with excessive phlegm, breathlessness, fullness, and oppression in the chest and diaphragm, desire to vomit, deficient, and weak pulse
Modifications: To strengthen the effect of dissolving phlegm, add Succus Bambusae ( zhu li )
Cautions: It is a formula that treats the branch for patients with phlegm accumulation and breathlessness, who still need to be treated with diffusing the lung and dissolving phlegm after vomiting. For exuberant phlegm-drool with extreme deficiency, apply it separately is inadvisable since it has no tonic effect
