LUNG
Sometimes regarded as neutral because it can be used for hot or cold conditions, but typically regarded as slightly warm.
Goes just to the lung.
Primary superpower of Bai Qian is to redirect the qi downward, thereby dispelling phlegm and cough with copious stuck sputum. Great for Lung qi blockage / stagnation / excess. Phlegm that won't budge.
Noted for getting rid of that phlegm gurgle in the throat.
Bai Qian looks like little sticks, that one can picture poking the phlegm downward, breaking through phlegm balls gurgling in the throat, breaking up blockages in the lung.
Kind of obvious given its function, but it is not to be used for a lung deficient unproductive cough.
