Stir-frying medicinal materials in a wok with bran until a thick yellow-black smoke is given off. This process increases a medicinal’s capacity to fortify the spleen and stomach and causes oils that would otherwise cause side effects and unpleasant smells to be absorbed by the bran. The same method is used to process white atractylodes (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 白朮 bái zhú) and bitter orange (Aurantii Fructus, 枳壳 zhǐ ké).
