Commentary
Pinellia ternata (Ban-xia) assumes the leading (chief) role; warm and pungent in character, it travels through the Spleen, Stomach, Lung meridians, working chiefly to dry dampness, resolve phlegm, descend counter-flow and stop vomiting. Fresh ginger (Sheng-jiang) takes the deputy (minister) role; warm and pungent in character, it travels through the Lung, Spleen, Stomach meridians to disperse wind-cold, stop vomiting and relieve cough. Finally, jujubes (Da-zao) function as the harmonizing (envoy) ingredient; its role is to tonify qi, nourish blood and calm the spirit, harmonize the formula and coordinate the herbs. United, the ingredients warm and tonify the spleen and stomach, dispel cold and relieve pain, addressing the root disturbance of the peptic ulcer pattern.
