Er Chen Tang by Treasure of the East also known as Citrus and Pinellia is used
for damp-phlegm from the Spleen failing to properly transport the fluids, which
thereupon accumulate and form phlegm. The accumulation of damp-phlegm in turn
encumbers the Spleen, which further impedes the transportation of fluids.
Phlegm follows the flow of qi upward to the Lungs where it interferes with its
qi mechanisms and produces coughing. Phlegm also interferes with the normal
descent of the Stomach qi, which leads to nausea or vomiting.
The presence of phlegm in the middle burner obstructs the ascent of the clear
yang and causes dizziness.
The slippery pulse and the white, thick, greasy tongue coating are indicative
of damp-phlegm. The root of this disorder is deficient qi which predisposes the
person to the development of damp-phlegm. In turn the damp-phlegm disrupts and
weakens the qi mechanisms. This is manifested by the swollen tongue body.
