The Liver is historically known as the “general of the army” and is responsible for being strategic and forceful.

It is for people who are much better at the “forward” peddle and have difficulty with “idle” or “reverse.” It is considered an essential formula for a driven person who ceaselessly strives to succeed but cannot locate space to go with the flow.

Earlier formulas emphasized the Liver Qi being blocked, tense and obstructed and failed to sufficiently address the fact that in many people the root problem was primarily the Liver’s moisture. Therefore, Wei Zhi-wei created “Linking Decoction” which is the basis of \u003cstrong\u003eGracious Power \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Yi Guan Jian)\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGracious Power \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made a few modifications in “Linking Decoction.” Most importantly, we have borrowed three ingredients – dry fried Sour jujube seed, Anemarrhena rhizome and Sichuan lovage rhizome from “Sour Jujube Decoction” \u003cem\u003e(Suan Zao Ren Tang)\u003c\/em\u003e, which is derived from the \u003cem\u003eEssential Formulas of the Golden Chest \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eJing-gui Yao-lue\u003c\/em\u003e, 220 A.D.). This formula was designed by Zhang Zhong-Jing as a Liver-Heart meridian formula for occasional irritability, anxiety and insomnia. The addition of dry fried Sour jujube seed helps nourish the Liver and Heart Blood. The combination of Anemarrhena rhizome and Sichuan lovage rhizome dynamically combines an astringent, Fire-cooling herb with a Liver Qi-opening herb.

This substitution has been made because a small number of people have been known to have unpleasant or adverse reactions to Melia fruit and its use would have made the formula unsuitable for long-term use. Finally, a small amount of Finger citron fruit has been added to help assimilation and provide a gentle flowing movement to the Yin-nourishing herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE HERBS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Rehmannia root \u003c\/strong\u003eis the critical herb in Chinese Herbology to nourish the Blood, Yin and Essence \u003cem\u003e(Jing) \u003c\/em\u003eof the Liver and Kidney.

The herb helps a person look within and be comfortable with what is perceived. Lycium fruit is an important herb that tonifies the Blood, Yin and Essence \u003cem\u003e(Jing) \u003c\/em\u003eand generally softens the Liver, supports healthy vision and self-awareness and moistens the Lower and Middle Burners.

Sun Si-miao is his \u003cem\u003eSupplemental Wings to the Thousand Ducat Formulas (Qian-jin Yi-fang\u003c\/em\u003e, 682 A.D.) mentions this herb as being important for a person who is “cut off from self.” It moistens and reduces the sensation of being unsatisfied. It moistens the Upper and Middle Burners.

It also cools and drains Fire and helps with occasional restlessness and inability to be in a state of repose. In modern times, it is considered bitter and cold, and enters the Kidney and Lung meridians.

It provides the gentle nudge to the moistening herbs so that the entire formula provides flexibility and reinforces the positive dynamic aspects of the Liver. Also, as mentioned earlier, Sichuan lovage rhizome is matched with Anemarrhena rhizome in Zhong Zhong’s famous formula “Sour Jujube Soup.” This pair combines the astringing activity of Anemarrhena rhizome with the open and flowing activity of the Sichuan lovage rhizome to create a dynamic balance that actually mimics the general intention of \u003cstrong\u003eGracious Power\u003c\/strong\u003e.

First, its gentle gliding movement reinforces Turmeric root tuber. Secondly, it helps prevent any of Rehmannia’s stillness from affecting the Spleen meridian and causing any unwelcome occasional disturbances in digestion.

As they are concerned with moment-to-moment inhalation and exhalation, the Lungs relate to the give and take of ordinary human activity.
