Zhi gan cao is where gan cao is wok-fried with honey, caramelized...until

the stickiness is gone.

 

Zhi gan cao supports the middle jiao, is more tonifying SP Qi and warmer

than Sheng gan cao.

 

It doesn't clear toxins/poisons or clear heat as much.

 

There's good info in Sionneau's Pao Zhi book and the 3rd Ed Bensky MM.
