All varieties help move Qi stagnation.

Mandarin Orange Peel (Chen Pi) is a better inflammation fighter, carminative, and tonic.

Unripe Green Orange Peel (Qing Pi) is a cholagogue and carminative.

Bitter Orange Peel (Zhi Shi) moves Qi stagnation, stimulates circulation, has expectorate properties, and is a stomach digestive.



Always wash your mandarin before peeling it and preferably be using organic mandarins. I like to cut up the skin and then dry it on a wire rack with paper towel until the peels are hard and snap when broken, then I store them in an airtight container and use as a tea.
