Good morning! Fructus Aurantii Immaturus tastes bitter, and has the functions of promoting qi circulation, reducing swelling and resolving phlegm. It is a good medicine for treating chest tightness, edema due to phlegm retention, food retention and constipation. Atractylodes macrocephala is sweet and warm in nature, and has the functions of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, eliminating dampness and promoting diuresis, stopping sweating and preventing miscarriage. It is a good medicine for treating spleen and stomach weakness and poor diet.
Suggestion:
Judging from their medicinal properties and functions, these two drugs have the functions of regulating the spleen and stomach and intestines, and improving the absorption and excretion of food nutrients. However, if there are people with weak spleen and stomach, we should use Fructus Aurantii Immaturus with caution. However, people with yin deficiency and dryness-heat should not use Atractylodes macrocephala. Good wishes!
