Detailed information about each herb in and their roles

Envoys
Be
Bei Sha Shen (北沙参)
Role in
Nourishes Stomach Yin and generates fluids to moisten dryness in the esophagus and diaphragm. As the chief herb at the highest dosage, it addresses the core Yin deficiency and dryness that underlie the swallowing obstruction.
Ch
Chuan Bei Mu (川贝母)
Role in
Transforms Phlegm and disperses nodules without causing dryness. Works together with Bei Sha Shen to moisten the upper and middle Jiao while clearing Phlegm obstruction that contributes to the swallowing difficulty.
Da
Dan Shen (丹参)
Role in
Invigorates Blood and dispels stasis. When Qi stagnation persists, it often leads to Blood stasis. Dan Shen addresses this deeper level of obstruction to help open the passages in the diaphragm and esophagus.
Yu
Yu Jin (郁金)
Role in
Moves Qi, resolves depression, and invigorates Blood. Assists in breaking through the Qi stagnation and emotional constraint that often accompany and worsen dysphagia.
Fu
Fu Ling (茯苓)
Role in
Strengthens the Spleen, resolves Dampness, and transforms Phlegm. Supports the middle Jiao to prevent further Phlegm accumulation and gently tonifies without causing stagnation.
Sh
Sha Ren Ke (砂仁壳)
Role in
The husk of Sha Ren is used rather than the seed itself because its aromatic Qi-moving properties are gentler and less drying. It arouses the Stomach, regulates Qi, and prevents the moistening herbs from causing further stagnation.
He
He Ye Di (荷叶蒂)
Role in
The base of the lotus leaf lifts clear Yang of the Spleen upward. In a formula focused on descending turbid Phlegm and Qi, this ascending action prevents excessive downward-driving and maintains proper Qi dynamics between ascent and descent.
Ch
Chu Tou Kang (杵头糠)
Role in
Rice bran (the inner skin of the rice grain) opens the Stomach and directs Qi downward. It is a traditional specific for treating dysphagia and esophageal obstruction, helping food pass smoothly through the digestive tract.
