Commentary

Taking radish seeds (Lai-fu-zi) as the leading herb, the formula draws on its pungent, sweet flavor and neutral property: its action follows the Lung, Spley, Stomach meridians and works to descend qi, dissolve food stagnation and resolve phlegm. Without a separate harmonizing herb, the herbal tea formula balance is achieved through the mutual tempering of its active ingredients. United, the ingredients aid digestion and soothe the stomach, addressing the root disturbance of the chronic cholecystitis pattern.
