[Note] 1. Atractylodes macrocephala is a medicine that can only nourish the spleen and stomach. Its effect of replenishing qi is weak, but it is bitter and warm and can dry out dampness and can replenish spleen yang. Because the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, it likes dryness and hates dampness. When yang is obtained, it can be transported. If it can rise, it will be healthy. If the spleen yang is weak and the transportation and transformation are not done properly, the internal dampness will not change and the water-dampness will remain, resulting in phlegm, fullness, diarrhea and other symptoms, this product can be used. As for those with insufficient stomach yin, peeling tongue coating, lack of body fluids, dry lips and dry mouth, Atractylodes macrocephala, which has a warm and dry nature, should not be used.
