For centuries, Xuan Fu Hua has been prized as a descending, qi-regulating, and phlegm-transforming herb, traditionally used to relieve coughing, wheezing, belching, and a sensation of fullness or oppression in the chest. Its nature is bitter, pungent, and slightly warm, making it a focused yet gentle herb for directing qi downward, harmonizing the Stomach, and soothing the chest and diaphragm.
