Generally speaking, Orange Red Granules are a common traditional Chinese medicine with main functions including promoting blood circulation, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, regulating qi and relieving chest congestion, as well as relieving cough and expelling phlegm.
