Qi and Blood circulate and distribute within the body through small pathways called the collaterals. These collaterals are the branches of the larger channels and form a network system that strengthens the links between paired channels.

Chinese salvia root and rhizome invigorates and tonifies the Blood, clears Heat, cools the Blood and reduces stagnation. Frankincense resin and Myrrh resin are commonly paired to break up Blood stasis, moving stagnation due to sudden events or congealed Blood and removing obstructions from the channels. Two herbs have been added to enhance the Blood moving properties of the formula. Achyranthes root, a classical modification, further invigorates the channels and dispels Blood stasis.
