What does it do?
Ban Xia Hou Po Wan (Ban Xia Hou Po Pian, Ban Xia Hou Po Tang,
半夏厚朴片),
literally "Pinellia & Magnolia Pills" in Chinese,
promotes qi flow to relieve Qi stagnancy, and directs adverse Qi flow downwards to
eliminate phlegm.† The Chinese medicine is used for accumulation of phlegm due to
stagnated seven emotions marked by obstructive sensation in the throat (the persistent sensation
of having phlegm or some other sort of obstruction in the throat when there is none), chest fullness,
asthmatic breath, or cough, or vomiting, or distending pain in the chest and
hypochondriac region, etc.†
