Substances that Extinguish Wind and Stop Tremors
1/9
Which herb anchors Liver yang and also strongly redirects rebellious qi downward? For belching, vomiting, hiccup, and acute wheezing?
Dai Zhe Shi is hematite, a heavy mineral. It not only weighs down on Liver yang, it also weighs down rebellious LU/ST qi. This comes up in the formula Xuan Fu Dai Zhe Tang, which is for vomiting.
