Commentary

Taking amomum (Sha-ren) as the leading herb, the formula draws on its pungent flavor and warm property: it channels into the Spleen, Stomach, Kidney meridians and works to move qi, warm the middle, resolve dampness and stop vomiting. No dedicated envoy herb appears in this recipe, the actions being balanced among the active ingredients themselves. In sum, the prescription aid digestion and stimulate the appetite, aimed squarely at the childhood anorexia pattern rather than at isolated symptoms.
