Wind and Damp Heat can flow over into the channels, collaterals and joints, obstructing the free flow of Qi and Blood.

This activity is concerned with the polarity of gentle reflectiveness and dynamic responsiveness; it embraces both the Yin power to gracefully unfold – while being content, quiet and present – and the Yang power to activate, move and transform.

Sometimes the pattern resembles one which indicates \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e, but they will also have a passive or inactive aspect. Because the Chinese say that Kidney Fire controls Kidney Water, this formula is used whenever fluids don’t move properly. Because Kidney Fire is responsible for the body’s warmth, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is indicated whenever a person is inordinately cold. \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrio\u003c\/strong\u003er is formulated to root the Qi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen fear overcomes the activities of life on a psychological level, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is called for.

It is also for occasional tiredness. When a weak Will (Zhi) cannot activate, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e makes room for movement. It is the formula for the inability to stand on one’s own feet, assert oneself and be firm.

Following Dr. Zhang’s reworking of his “Right Returning Drink” (You Gui Yin) and “Great Original Primary Decoction” (Da Bu Yuan Jian), we have eliminated what he termed “the three draining components” of the original Golden Chest formula – Alisma, Poria and Peony bark – and added Eucommia bark, Lycium fruit, Chinese red ginseng root and rhizome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn adopting these revisions, we expect that experienced herbalists will see that we’ve carefully sifted through the experience of the Chinese, as well as our own, and have developed a formula able to meet their needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABOUT THE HERBS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEucommia bark \u003c\/strong\u003eis an important herb to strengthen the Kidney’s activating power.

Historically, the Chinese believed that this circulation took place within the meridian pathways. A circulation blockage in meridians can cause stagnation, discomfort, occasional limitation of movement and impairment. The Chinese call this impaired flow “obstruction.” The adage of Zhang Zhi-Cong’s (1610-1672 A.D.) provides the normative explanation: “Obstruction is blockage; pernicious influences hamper flow and cause stagnation.” One of China’s oldest books describes thirteen kinds of obstruction (\u003cem\u003eSu Wen\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 43).

Yan Yong-Huo in \u003cem\u003eFormulas Beneficial to Life \u003c\/em\u003e(1253 A.D.) summarizes this connection: “Because the body is deficient, pernicious influences invade the inward emptiness; obstruction is formed when Wind, Cold and Damp are thus admitted.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula strengthens the Liver’s sense of Virtue and the Kidney’s Will \u003cem\u003e(Zhi)\u003c\/em\u003e, so one can respond more creatively and less automatically to stagnation.

Disturbances in this tension create a situation where a person’s usual inward soft sensibility becomes a defensive alertness and the usual external wall of armored protectiveness becomes a border of soft, even mushy, vulnerability. On the physical level, one type of loss of adjustment between exterior and interior is recognized in occasional tenderness, stiffness, numbness or sensations of heaviness. On a psychological level, this imbalance is present when a person’s usual sense of external engagement primarily monitors their own interior stagnation. Discomfort becomes the primary or even exclusive experience of a person’s being; the inner and outer merging into a single awareness of noxious sensations. The exterior is vulnerable, the interior is defensive. The Nutritive \u003cem\u003e(Ying) \u003c\/em\u003eQi has become misplaced on the ‘outside,’ the Protective \u003cem\u003e(Wei) \u003c\/em\u003eQi has drawn inappropriately inwards − chaos reigns. \u003cstrong\u003eMeridian \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort \u003c\/strong\u003eis the traditional approach to realign the exterior and interior and create a new sense of comfortable order. \u003cstrong\u003eMeridian Comfort \u003c\/strong\u003erebalances the exterior and interior.

Muscles, tendons and joints need a dynamic balance of strength and resilience with softness and gentleness.

More softness in the interior means less cramping, less resisting and less vigilance towards stimuli. More interior softness means less wanting things to be other than they are.

While Chinese cinnamon twig is assertive, moves outwards and increases the exterior vigilance, White peony root increases the interior yielding.

While this is often interpreted to mean an outside pernicious influence, it is also understood in Cold Induced Disharmonies and in Zhang Zhong-jing’s other book, Essential Formulas of the Golden Chest (Jin-gui Yao-lue Fang-lun, 220 A.D.), to apply to deficient situations. Zhang Zhong- Jing describes Cinnamon twig as “tonifying and strengthening the middle” several times in his writings. This understanding is similar to the one expressed in Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica (Shen-nong Ben-cao Jing, 150 A.D.) in which Cinnamon is said to “tonify the middle and benefit the Qi.” Additionally, Chinese herbal tradition also considers Chinese \u003c\/em\u003eCinnamon twig an essential herb for alleviating stagnation.
