LU/LI
This is the seed from the purple perilla plant.
It goes to the metal element: LU/LI - so we know it is good for wheezing and phlegm (copious sputum, difficult exhalation, chest pressure) redirecting the qi downward, and for moistening the intestines, unblocking stool. Imagine all the years and hard work and bad treatments that went in to figuring all this stuff out? All I can say is "thank you" to all of those who trod this path before us. We think we have it hard!! How about the person who first spent the time gathering the little perilla seeds and figuring out they got rid of constipation and cough!?
