- 1) Feng Mi regulates and acts like marshal directing the various medicinal power of individual herb to the infected organs to start the healing process.
- 2) Another function is to reconcile the effects of various herbs to a moderate digestive level and eliminates any pain in the process.
- 3) forms a sugar coating to preserve the herbs to last for a longer period of time as well as a longer shelf life because An Gong Niu Huang wan is a pill.
- 4) relieve dry cough; sore throat; constipation which are not prime to our application here.
