Atractylodes macrocephala is generally referred to as bran-fried atractylodes macrocephala, which is the artillery product of atractylodes macrocephala. The raw Atractylodes macrocephala tablets can moderate the pungent and dry nature after being fried with bran, and can enhance its effect of strengthening the spleen, drying dampness, and inducing stagnation and stopping diarrhea.
