Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that Pinellia ternata can't be observed clearly, and Wu Jutong said, "Pinellia ternata can regulate stomach and eliminate phlegm, and glutinous rice is dry and golden, so it can supplement Yangming's dryness, penetrate its drink, regulate stomach and make people sleepy."

Because the pharmacy didn't prepare glutinous rice, according to Wu Jutong's instructions, glutinous rice was replaced by coix seed.
