Description	Excerpted from Bensky: Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica, 3rd ed. Expels wind, eliminates dampness, unblocks the nasal passages, and alleviates pain: for patterns of externally-contracted wind-cold, especially those with headache. Also for supraorbital pain, nasal congestion, and toothache. While primarily a warming herb, it can be used for any problem due to wind invading the yang brightness channels of the head.* Reduces swelling and expels pus: for early stages of superficial sores and carbuncles. If the sore, ulcer, or carbuncle has not yet suppurated, this herb will help reduce the swelling. If pus has already formed or the sore has ulcerated, the herb can be used to help discharge the pus.* Expels dampness and alleviates discharge: usually for vaginal discharge due to cold-dampness in the lower burner, but with the appropriate herbs can also be sued to treat vaginal discharge from damp-heat.* Used with Glycyrrhizae Radix (gan cao) for pain associated with ulcers.*
