Chenpi is bitter and warm, light in nature, regulating Lung Qi; Qingpi is bitter, acrid, and neutral, dispersing stagnant Qi in the Lung, thus serving as the Minister herbs. Binglang is acrid and warm, heavy in nature, descending phlegm and Qi; Dahuang is bitter and cold, sweeping away excess and fullness, thus serving as the Envoy herb.

Preparation and Administration: Grind the first two ingredients into fine powder. Use the paste to form pills size of wutong seeds. Take 50 pills per dose with Xiaoyao San. Note: Xiaoyao San must have Gancao removed and Renshen added. Alternatively, Wang Shi's *Bo Ji Fang* Renshen Jingjie San can be used. If facial edema persists, the *Neijing* states: "Facial edema is due to wind, so sweating is indicated." Mahuang and Guizhi can induce sweating, followed by Chaihu Yinzi without Dahuang. The *Ke Lun* states: "Treating Zang organs treats their Jing-wells; treating Fu organs treats their He-sea points; edema is treated via the Channel points." Treating Jing-wells treats Earth; treating He-sea points also treats Earth, analogous to the strategy of "Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao."
