Commentary

Agallocha holds the chief position in this formula, setting the primary direction for the whole recipe. Amomum (Sha-ren) acts as the deputy ingredient; warm and pungent in character, it travels through the Spleen, Stomach, Kidney meridians to move qi, warm the middle, resolve dampness and stop vomiting. 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 soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach, restoring balance within the qi framework.
