Belleric Myrobalan Fruit Classic Formulas

Primary Actions

Astrings and supports recovery after leakage or weakness - the fruit is used when chronic diarrhea or depletion after illness calls for a gentle binding action.
Harmonizes the properties of companion herbs - traditional descriptions treat it as a moderating ingredient in compound prescriptions rather than only as a strong stand-alone drug.

Regional Tibetan and Mongolian formula lineages use Mao He Zi for chronic diarrhea, hepatobiliary discomfort, weakness after illness, and heat-toxin presentations.

TCM Wiki describes Mao He Zi as sweet, astringent, and neutral, used to clear heat, remove toxicity, astringe, and harmonize the properties of medicine.
Traditional use notes place Mao He Zi more in regional materia medica traditions than in the mainstream single-herb repertoires familiar to most modern TCM students.
