Primary Traditional Functions
Dries Dampness, Dissolves Phlegm
Traditional Chinese Medicine theories teach us that the spleen produces phlegm and the lungs store phlegm. When the Spleen doesn't dissolve excess phlegm producing dampness, cough, sputum and reverse lung qi manifest. Ban Xia (Pinellia) enters the Spleen and Lung functions to dissolve the phlegm at its source and where it has also accumulated.

Profuse sputum
Watery sputum with Nausea and vomiting resulting from cold phlegm accumulation
Large amounts of yellow sputum resulting from hot phlegm
Liver wind rising and phlegm stagnation resulting in dizziness, feelings of chest congestion and oppression, headache, vertigo, white greasy tongue coating, wiry slippery pulse
Xiang bi (painful chest obstruction) with yang deficiency plus accumulation of cold and phlegm producing short breath with chest pain

Redirects Abnormally Rising Stomach Qi, Relieves Nausea, Relieves Vomiting
Ban Xia relieves Nausea and vomiting resulting from phlegm obstruction, pregnancy, stomach deficiency or stomach heat. Stomach qi normally moves downward. When it is blocked by phlegm the reverse stomach qi can cause Nausea and vomiting. Ban xia is very effective against Nausea and vomiting, dissolves phlegm, dries dampness, harmonises the stomach and redirects stomach qi in its normal downward direction.
