Notes to answerer
Asker: I was most definitely not looking for a direct translation as I am well aware that it sounds awkward, which is exactly why I posted this question. Thank you.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  vitaexcolatur: that's what I had thought too, but apparently enough TCM practitioners had christened different types of concoctions with English names, so I think both could be accepted and should be reflected as such.

neutral  Jun Ng: Exactly! I think the asker was looking for a better English name for it...honestly I am not that crazy about the existing name "Benefit the Basal Powder" :-(. Sounds like something that spits out of a translation software, LOL
