Plum Pit Qi by Kan

Plum Pit Qi is a faithful rendition of the classical formula Ban Xia Hou Po Tang (Pinellia and Magnolia Combination). This formula addresses the pattern known as "Plum Pit Qi" (Mei He Qi) where stagnation of Qi and formation of Phlegm mutually reinforce each other, often with an emotional component. It moves stagnant Qi, transforms Phlegm and accumulation, redirects rebellious Qi downward, and soothes the emotions.
