Pu Gong Ying is a dandelion flower. I won't go into the Chinese translation. It's so odd I'm not sure I have it correct.
This herb goes to the Stomach and Liver channels. It is bitter (liver) and sweet (stomach). These channels go through the breast, and that is exactly what dandelion is good for -- breast and intestinal abscesses.
Dandelion sends things down. It dissipates nodules. Clears the liver and eyes, reducing redness and swelling, and resolves dampness from painful urinary dribbling and damp-heat jaundice.
I'm not coming up with any clever memorization tricks with this one. Sorry. Here's a list with some interesting pictures.
