Explanation The first four herbs have already been discussed above.

Hou Po, Ban Xia, Su Ye, and Fu Ling constitute Ban Xia Hou Po Tang

Pinellia-Magnolia Decoction which moves Liver-Qi in the chest and

makes Lung-Qi and Stomach-Qi descend. It particularly relieves

depression, moodiness and sadness associated with the Lungs.

Xiang Fu and Suan Zao Ren move Liver-Qi and settle the Ethereal

Soul. They are coordinated as one is pungent and moves, the other is

sour and absorbs.

Zhi Gan Cao and Bai Shao stop pain, harmonize the Liver and

moderate urgency.

Da Zao harmonizes.
