(Peng Ezhu) has the effects of purging, promoting Qi circulation and breaking blood stasis, and eliminating accumulations.
It is pungent and bitter in taste, and warm in nature. It primarily treats all types of Qi stagnation. It can also unblock the Liver meridian, promote the movement of aggregated blood, and facilitate Qi circulation. It resolves blood stasis, unblocks the meridians, transforms food retention, and relieves pain. It treats various pains in the heart and abdomen, acid regurgitation caused by cold Qi counterflow, Ben Tun (a condition characterized by a sensation of gas rushing up from the lower abdomen to the chest), and Pi masses (abdominal lumps). (Grind with wine or vinegar for administration. Pronounced "Xian". Accumulations in the lower abdomen are called "Pi", more common in men; masses in the abdomen are called "Zhijia", more common in women. Peng Ezhu has a fragrant and pungent aroma, excels at promoting Qi circulation and opening orifices, and is often used together with San Leng to treat various accumulation diseases. According to the *Nan Jing*: The accumulation of the Heart is called Fu Liang, starting above the navel and extending to below the heart; the accumulation of the Liver is called Fei Qi, located in the left hypochondrium; the accumulation of the Lung is called Xi Fen, located in the right hypochondrium; the accumulation of the Spleen is called Pi Qi, located on the right side of the epigastrium; the accumulation of the Kidney is called Ben Tun, located in the lower abdomen, with Qi rushing upward to below the heart. When treating these conditions, one should not rely solely on attacking methods, as this may damage the True Qi. It is advisable to add herbs that tonify the Spleen and Stomach to those that break blood stasis and promote Qi circulation; only when Qi is vigorous can it grind away the accumulation. The classics state: For large accumulations, attacking methods may be used, but stop when the condition has improved by half; over-attacking leads to death. In Li Dongyuan's formulas for Five Accumulations, San Leng and Peng Ezhu are used, both supplemented with Ren Shen to assist in achieving success.) It can also treat Zhong E Gui Zhu (stagnation of Zang-Fu organs, disharmony of Yin and Yang, allowing evil pathogens to take hold; Peng Ezhu benefits Qi and reaches the orifices, leaving no room for pathogens). If taken by individuals with deficiency, if the accumulation is not removed while the True Qi is exhausted, one must combine it with Ren Shen and Bai Zhu, perhaps offering a slim hope. The root resembles ginger, growing beneath the Peng root, varying in size like eggs, hard and difficult to crush. It can be roasted thoroughly in ash fire and crushed while hot. (Used for disorders entering the Qi level.) Or ground with vinegar or wine, or boiled before use. (Used for disorders entering the Blood level.)
(Jing San Leng) has the effects of purging, breaking blood stasis, promoting Qi circulation, and eliminating accumulations.
It is bitter in taste and neutral in nature. It enters the Blood level of the Liver meridian. It breaks Qi stagnation within the blood. (It can also unblock the Liver meridian and promote the movement of aggregated blood.) It disperses all types of blood stasis and Qi knotting. It treats hard sores, food retention, old and firm accumulations. It reduces swelling, relieves pain, promotes lactation, and induces abortion. Its efficacy is similar to Xiang Fu but its action is more severe. Analysis indicates: Eliminating accumulations must rely on the movement of Qi. Using only attacking and reducing methods will further impair Qi movement, making it impossible for accumulations to resolve. Therefore, supplementing with herbs that strengthen the Spleen and tonify Qi is essential. Those that are yellow in color, heavy in weight, and resemble small carp are of good quality. Stir-fry after soaking in vinegar, or roast wrapped in flour. (Take two and a half liang of San Leng and three fen of Ding Xiang, grind into powder, and take one qian with boiling water to treat Fan Wei [reverse vomiting], where medicines and food cannot go down.)
