【Contraindications】Pinellia is pungent, warm, and drying. People with excessive internal heat, such as those with “dry cough, heat phlegm, or dry phlegm,” should use it with caution, or combine it with heat-clearing herbs (such as Coptis or Scutellaria).

Pinellia is an excellent Chinese medicinal herb for drying dampness, transforming phlegm, relieving cough, and alleviating wheezing. It is the dried tuber of a plant in the Araceae family. There are four main types: raw Pinellia, Qing Ban Xia, ginger-processed Pinellia, and Fa Ban Xia.

Pinellia is pungent and warm in nature and flavor, and is toxic. It enters the Spleen, Stomach, and Lung meridians. Raw and fresh Pinellia are mildly toxic, so Chinese medicine manufacturers and practitioners use products that have been processed. After processing, it can be decocted or used in soups.

Pinellia is pungent, dispersing, warm, and drying. It is toxic and relatively potent, and is especially effective at dispelling phlegm and dampness from the Spleen and Stomach. It dries dampness and transforms phlegm, directs rebellious qi downward and stops vomiting, dissipates focal distention and nodules, inhibits gastric acid secretion, promotes bile secretion, has antitumor, antiarrhythmic, sedative and hypnotic, lipid-lowering, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immune-enhancing, and diuretic effects.

It is an essential herb for treating “phlegm-dampness, cold phlegm, and vomiting.” It may be used for disorders caused by phlegm-dampness, especially when accompanied by cold; when heat is also present, it should be combined with bitter-cold herbs. It is used for damp phlegm and cold phlegm, cough and wheezing with abundant phlegm, dizziness and palpitations caused by phlegm retention, dizziness caused by wind-phlegm, headaches caused by phlegm syncope, vomiting and acid regurgitation, chest and epigastric focal distention, globus sensation, and more. Applied externally, it can eliminate toxins, dissipate nodules, and reduce swelling, and may be used for goiters, phlegm nodules, abscesses, and swelling.

Differences

Raw Pinellia: Best suited for external use and has a stronger ability to eliminate toxins, dissipate nodules, and reduce swelling.

Qing Ban Xia: Made by processing raw Pinellia with alum; it has a stronger ability to dry dampness and transform phlegm.

Ginger-processed Pinellia: Made by processing raw Pinellia with alum and ginger juice; it is more effective at warming the middle, transforming phlegm, directing rebellious qi downward, and stopping vomiting.

Fa Ban Xia: Made by processing raw Pinellia with limewater and licorice; it is more effective at warming and transforming cold phlegm and harmonizing the Spleen and Stomach.

For cough with a deep, heavy sound caused by phlegm-dampness obstructing the Lungs, with thin, white phlegm, it is often used with tangerine peel and Poria to enhance its ability to dry dampness and transform phlegm.

For cough and wheezing caused by cold fluid retention, with abundant, clear, thin, frothy phlegm, aversion to cold, and a cold back, it is often used with Asarum and dried ginger, which warm the Lungs and transform fluid retention.

For dizziness and palpitations caused by phlegm retention, dizziness caused by wind-phlegm, or, in severe cases, vomiting of phlegm and fluids, and headaches caused by phlegm syncope, it may be combined with Gastrodia and Atractylodes to transform phlegm, extinguish wind, strengthen the Spleen, and dispel dampness.
For vomiting caused by Stomach qi deficiency: combine with Ginseng
For vomiting caused by Stomach heat: combine with Coptis
For vomiting caused by Stomach yin deficiency: combine with Ophiopogon and Dendrobium
