Tetrandra root in the formula dispels wind, induces diuresis, removes dampness and stops pain, Astragalus is used in large dose to replenish qi, consolidate the exterior, promote diuresis and relieve edema. The combination of these two herbs results in invigor­ating the genuine-qi to eliminate the evil-qi. They act as principal herbs. Bighead atractylodes rhizome as an assistant herb strengthens the spleen and excretes dampness, assists tetrandra root in promoting diuresis and astragalus in consolida­ting the exterior. Fresh ginger and Chinese date acting as adjuvant herbs harmonize nutrient-qi and defense-qi, invigorate the spleen and regulate the stomach. Roasted licorice root is used as dispatcher herbs with the effects of replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen and moderating other herbs.
