Commentary
Processed ginger holds the chief position in this formula, setting the primary direction for the whole recipe. Coix seed (Yi-yi-ren) takes the deputy (minister) role; cool and sweet, bland in character, it travels through the Spleen, Stomach, Lung meridians to clear damp-heat and strengthen the spleen. White atractylodes (Bai-zhu) add further support, working to tonify the spleen and dry dampness. Without a separate harmonizing herb, the herbal tea formula balance is achieved through the mutual tempering of its active ingredients. The overall effect is to strengthen the spleen and warm the middle jiao, restoring balance within the chronic diarrhea framework.
