Commentary

Fresh figs assume the leading (chief) role, providing the main thrust of the formula. Honey (Feng-mi) stands as the harmonizing envoy, working to moisten the lung and harmonize the formula and unite the separate actions into one. Taken together these herbs clear heat and cool the blood, in keeping with the hemorrhoids pattern.
