(Foshougan / Bergamot Fruit) Acrid, bitter, and sour in flavor, warm in nature. Enters the Lung and Spleen meridians. Regulates Qi and stops vomiting; strengthens the Spleen to treat pain in the heart region caused by phlegm-fluid and Qi stagnation. The roots and leaves share the same efficacy.
(Xiangyuan / Citron) Sweet and astringent in flavor, neutral in nature. Kills parasites and resolves accumulation. However, excessive consumption draws fire into the Lungs and injures the Large Intestine.
(Baiguo / Ginkgo Seed) Sweet, astringent, and slightly bitter in flavor. Raw consumption descends turbid phlegm and kills parasites; cooked consumption consolidates Lung Qi and benefits Qi, stabilizing asthma, reducing urination, and stopping leukorrhea and turbid discharge. However, it causes Qi stagnation and induces childhood malnutrition (Gan syndrome). If children consume too many Ginkgo seeds, they may vomit saliva and become unconscious. In such emergencies, decocting dried salted fish heads (Baixiantou) and administering the soup can resolve the toxicity.
(Ganlan / Olive) Sweet, astringent, and sour in flavor, neutral in nature. Clears the Lungs, stimulates appetite, directs Qi downward, benefits the throat, generates fluids, awakens from intoxication, detoxifies, and treats fish bones stuck in the throat. The pits have the same therapeutic indications as the fruit. The kernels are sweet and neutral, moistening dryness.
(Li / Pear) Sweet in flavor, neutral in nature. Moistens the Lungs, calms the Heart, clears heat, stops coughing, consolidates Lung Qi, promotes urination and bowel movements, and stops rhinorrhea and lacrimation.

It is particularly suitable for treating phlegm-cough and warm febrile diseases affecting the Upper Jiao Heart and Lungs.
(Qianniuzi / Morning Glory Seed) Acrid in flavor, hot in nature. Belongs to Fire and excels at entering the Lung meridian. Drains damp-heat from the Qi level, reaches the Right Kidney Mingmen (Gate of Life), travels through the spermatic channels, unblocks depression in the Lower Jiao, and treats Wind constipation and Qi constipation of the Large Intestine. Promotes urination and bowel movements, drives out water and transforms phlegm, kills parasites, and treats swelling and fullness.
