Remarks | "Banxia (半夏)" is sometimes used after being processed. Processed "Banxia" consists of "Fabanxia (法半夏)" and "Jiangbanxia (姜半夏)". "Fabanxia (法半夏)" is processed with "Gancao (glycyrrhiza/liquorice)" and burnt lime. It is often used for eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm. "Jiangbanxia (姜半夏)" is processed with "Shengjiang (fresh ginger)" and alum. It is often used for lowering the adverse flow of qi to stop vomiting. In rare cases, the tuber of Pinellia pedatisecta Schott, P. tripartita Schott (Jap. name: Ōhange) or Arisaema spp. are blended into Chinese Banxia in the market. "Shuy-banxia (水半夏)" is the tuber of Typhonium sp. | |||||
