bubble_chart Formula Principles

In the formula, Cinnamon Twig disperses wind-cold and unblocks the meridians, while Aconite Lateral Root dispels wind, eliminates dampness, warms the meridians, and dissipates cold. The combination of these two herbs disperses wind-cold and dampness to relieve pain. Fresh Ginger Rhizome and Chinese Date harmonize the nutrient and defensive aspects, and Liquorice Root tonifies the spleen and harmonizes the middle. The combination of these five ingredients works together to dispel wind, eliminate dampness, warm the meridians, and dissipate cold.
