bubble_chart Formula Principles
This formula heavily utilizes White Atractylodes Rhizome to strengthen and tonify the spleen and stomach. When the spleen and stomach are robust, the transformation of qi naturally extends throughout the body. Moreover, White Atractylodes Rhizome primarily addresses wind-cold-dampness impediment, as clearly stated in the Benjing. Additionally, it is complemented by herbs such as Chinese Angelica, frankincense, and myrrh, which promote the circulation of qi and blood. Not only can wind-cold-dampness impediment be alleviated, but the pain caused by the stagnation of qi and blood can also be relieved.
