Zhi Fu Zi belongs to the category Herbs that Warm the Interior and Expel Cold.
Zhi Fu Zi is prepared aconite. It warms the Kidney, the Spleen, and the channels. It can rescue collapsed yang, hence it enters the Heart channel as well. Fu Zi is toxic in its raw form, so it is prepared by stir-frying it in ginger. Even then, it must be cooked 30-60 minutes longer than the rest of the decoction to further reduce its toxicity.
