Obstruction of Qi is the most advanced stage of impeded Qi circulation. Whether this is the result of prolonged stagnation arising from deficiency or the impact of External Influences such as Cold, Heat, Phlegm or Food Accumulation, such an hindrance to the dynamic of Qi can disturb the correct Qi of the Five Organ Networks (Heart, Spleen, Lung, Kidney and Liver). In particular, excessive Qi stagnation can hinder the proper function of the Six Fu (Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Gallbladder and Urinary Bladder). Obstruction of Qi may also generate secondary congestion of Blood and Moisture.
Purge Qi is designed to strongly mobilize Qi and disperse obstructions such as occasional accumulation of food in the stomach, accumulated digestate in the intestines and air trapped in the chest or abdomen. It also redirects the reflux Qi of the Lung and Stomach and the upsurging Qi of the Liver.
RATIONALE
Radish seed, Perilla fruit and Magnolia bark disperse Qi in the chest and epigastrium, strongly moving it downward and countering upward rebellion of the Lung and Stomach Qi. Charred Chinese hawthorn fruit, Radish seed, Bitter orange mature fruit and Bitter orange immature fruit dispel occasional food accumulation in the Stomach and support normal peristalsis to move the digestate downward through the Small Intestine. Chinese rhubarb rhizome and root, Quisqualis fruit, Saussurea root and prepared Cyperus rhizome relieve Qi stagnation and constraint, while protecting against the excessive dispersal of Qi. Coptis rhizome aids the other herbs in dispelling Heat and Damp Heat that can arise from Qi congestion, while Chinese licorice root and rhizome moderates the harsh effects of Chinese rhubarb rhizome and root, Radish seed and Quisqualis fruit, as well as supporting smooth elimination. Magnolia bark, Perilla fruit, Radish seed and Quisqualis fruit have the additional action of dispelling Phlegm and Dampness. Saussurea root, Bitter orange mature fruit, Bitter orange immature fruit, prepared Cyperus rhizome and Coptis rhizome help to decongest Qi, to clear Heat and to harmonize the Stomach and Spleen with the Liver and Intestines. All together, these herbs dispel Qi obstructions by transforming Phlegm, dispersing accumulations in the Stomach and Intestines and freeing the movement of Qi in the Three Burners (chest, upper and lower abdomen).
