According to the Pharmacopoeia, Chenpi is a warming drug.
Chenpi is the dried mature fruit rind of orange and its cultivated varieties in the Brassicaceae family. It is bitter, pungent and warm in nature, and belongs to the lung and spleen meridians. It has the effects of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm (expelling dampness and dissolving phlegm by drying dampness), and can be clinically used in the treatment of epigastric (abdominal) distension and fullness, low food intake and vomiting and diarrhea, and coughing with excessive phlegm.
When using Chen Pi, it should be noted that the drug is pungent and warm in nature, which is easy to injure yin and consume qi, so it should not be used by patients with yin deficiency and fire exuberance.
If you need to use Chen Pi, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of a professional physician, not to take it by yourself, so as not to delay the condition.
