Description
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.
