Detailed information about each herb in and their roles

Envoys
Fu
Fu Ling (茯苓)
Role in
Strengthens the Spleen and promotes urination to drain accumulated fluid from the middle burner. As the highest-dosed herb, it directly addresses the core problem of fluid retention by channeling excess water downward through the urinary tract while simultaneously supporting the Spleen's ability to process fluids.
Gu
Gui Zhi (桂枝)
Role in
Warms the Yang and transforms Qi to resolve fluid retention. Its warm, acrid nature acts like sunlight evaporating stagnant water, helping the body's Yang Qi to reassert control over fluid metabolism. It also calms the upward surging of Qi (descends counterflow), directly relieving the sensation of Qi rushing up to the chest, dizziness, and palpitations.
Ba
Bai Zhu (白术)
Role in
Strengthens the Spleen and dries Dampness, addressing the root cause of fluid accumulation. By restoring the Spleen's transporting function, it prevents new fluid from pooling. Works synergistically with Fu Ling to bolster the Spleen and with Gui Zhi to warm and mobilize the middle burner.
Zh
Zhi Gan Cao (炙甘草)
Role in
Tonifies Spleen Qi and harmonizes the other herbs in the formula. Combined with Gui Zhi, it generates Yang through the classical 'acrid-sweet transforming into Yang' mechanism. It also moderates Fu Ling's draining action to prevent excessive fluid loss that might damage normal body fluids.
