Taking it alone, also effective with vinegar water.) Its fruit has double knots, and its pit resembles the testicles (the external kidneys).

In cases where Heart and Spleen are damaged leading to Blood depletion, causing forgetfulness, palpitations, fright, hematemesis, metrorrhagia, intestinal wind bleeding, etc., Guipi Tang can guide Blood back to the Spleen to generate and tonify it.
