What Is It?
Er Chen Tang is a classic traditional Chinese herbal formula used to transform phlegm and support healthy digestion. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is commonly recommended when symptoms involve dampness and mucus accumulation affecting the digestive or respiratory systems.
This formula is often considered a foundational remedy for resolving internal phlegm patterns.
 
Common Uses
Excess mucus or phlegm
Chronic productive cough
Chest congestion
Nausea
Bloating with heaviness
Dizziness associated with phlegm (TCM pattern)
Sluggish digestion with dampness
 
Herbal Ingredients
Ban Xia (Prepared Pinellia Rhizome) – Transforms phlegm and relieves nausea
Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel) – Regulates Qi and reduces dampness
Fu Ling (Poria) – Promotes fluid metabolism
Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-Fried Licorice Root) – Harmonizes the formula
 
How It Works (Traditional Perspective)
In TCM, phlegm forms when fluid metabolism is impaired and dampness accumulates. Er Chen Tang helps dry dampness, transform phlegm, and regulate Qi movement. By improving fluid balance and digestive function, it supports clearer breathing and lighter digestion.
