Unripen wheat grains are immature wheat grains. Dried and thin in shape, which floated in the water. They taste sweet and cold. They help in comforting the mind and calming down，besides alleviating the heaty and stopping the heavy sweat symptoms.
Red dates helping in tonifying the spleen, nourishing blood and calming human minds, as well as strengthening the functionality of the stomach and spleen. The core digestive system builds up by the stomach and spleen which contribute as the supplier for the blood in the veins and arteries.

Licorice enables reducing heaty inside the body and perform detoxification. Besides, licorice enables quenching the fire of the heart and stomach as well. When the fire of the heart quenched, the heaty inside the stomach reduced too hence enable to strengthen the functionality of stomach, indirectly improved the functionality of the digestion system.
