Prolonged stagnation of Moisture often leads to a transformation of body fluids into Dampness and Phlegm (congealed Moisture). Dampness and Phlegm can further obstruct Blood and Qi, leading to blockage of the Upper Orifices which are ruled by the Heart (tongue), Kidney (ears) Lung (nose) and Spleen/Stomach (mouth).
Purge Moisture actively supports healthy circulation and distribution of body fluids (Jin Ye) via the skin, Lung and Bladder.
RATIONALE
Poria root skin, Winter melon peel and White mulberry root bark regulate the Moisture of the Upper Burner and, along with Chinese cinnamon twig, dispel Dampness outward through the skin and downward via the Small Intestine and Bladder. Polyporus sclerotium, Asian water plantain rhizome, White mulberry twig, Knotweed herb and Haizhou elsholtzia herb assist in leading accumulated Moisture in the Middle and Lower Burners downward and outward via the Small Intestine, Kidney and Urinary Bladder. White atractylodes rhizome strengthens and warms the Spleen which protects it against the strong purging action of the other herbs, as well as dispelling accumulated Moisture from within the Middle Burner.
As a whole, this combination of herbs eliminates obstructive Dampness by mobilizing Moisture outward via the skin and downward via the bladder, and by regulating the function of the Lung, Spleen and Kidney. Its action will help to support the healthy metabolism of body fluids and avert stagnation of Blood and Qi.
