Bibliographic Citation
Bensky, D., Clavey, S. & Stöger, E. (2004). Chinese herbal medicine: Materia medica (3rd ed.). Seattle: Eastland Press. p. 413 -- "In it's raw form, pinellia is generally considered too toxic for internal use. Therefore, if only the words 半夏 ban xia are written in a predcription, one of the prepared forms will be dispensed, usually either ginger pinellia or standard pinellia...If raw pinellia is desired, this must be specified by writing 生半夏(sheng ban xia), which is usually indicated only in prescriptions for external application." pg. 416
