In Chinese Medicine: Green Mandarin is a pungent, cooling stimulant that strongly regulates and mobilises the Qi of the Middle Jiao. Its focus is acute Qi obstruction in the Stomach and Gallbladder, and it works equally well for acute food accumulation. Its breaking-up course of movement distinguishes it from the gentler Red Mandarin.
