The seed kernel is the female clove we want to use, because its shape is like the tongue of a rooster. People call this beautiful seed kernel "chicken tongue fragrance", which is pungent in taste and warm in nature, and can dispel cold and relieve pain and stop vomiting. In Shu Herbal Medicine, it is considered that female cloves are "effective in treating vomiting".
