栝楼仁
Gua Lou Ren
This is the Chinese Snake Gourd seed (versus the peel). Like Gua Lou Pi, it also goes to the LU/LI and ST. They are both sweet and cold.
Gua Lou Ren and Gua Lou Pi have similar functions, but Gua Lou Ren does a little more, and has more clear involvement with the LI / lower burner connection. However, Gua Lou Pi is stronger at opening the chest.
Gua Lou Ren:
As a seed, Gua Lou Ren has moistening action. It clears and transforms phlegm-heat, expands the chest, moistens the intestines, and also promotes the healing of breast sores.
