White atractylodes rhizome and Astragalus root are the foundation for this formula’s tonifying and strengthening actions. The Spleen is the source of Qi and Blood, and its increased strength stabilizes the Exterior. Siler root assists by energetically circulating in the exterior level of the body and expelling Wind, the major invading factor of concern.

If Protective Qi weakens, becoming soft and penetrable, it is unable to ward off the entry of Wind Cold. In its struggle to deflect Wind Cold, Protective Qi dissipates and the unguarded Nutritive Qi becomes hyper-alert and defensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen attacked by Wind Cold, the body’s Nutritive Qi, if left vulnerable by weakened Protective Qi, is no longer capable of fulfilling its function of containing fluids, which leads to sweating. Open pores directly expose the individual to the external environment, and entry of Wind Cold impairs Lung Qi from regulating the body’s skin and nose. It is also common for this individual to feel a natural sensitivity or aversion to drafts, and to experience occasional tenderness, stiffness in the muscle layer and in the neck and shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA similar imbalance between Nutritive and Protective Qi may occur without externally contracted Wind Cold for individuals with a weak constitution. \u003cstrong\u003eCinnamon Twig Decoction\u003c\/strong\u003e will restore this balance. This formula disperses Wind Cold excess at the level of the Protective\u003cbr\u003eQi and restores the normal flow of Nutritive Qi, so that they are harmonized. This formula can be used for a wide range of patterns whenever the Protective Yang is unable to enter into the Nutritive Yin, and instead exits, ascends or accumulates. This pattern is characterized by Yang excess in the Interior of the body that occurs in conjunction with stagnation due to Cold at the level of the Nutritive Qi or Heart Yang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most important sign for this pattern is sweating that is not limited to a specific region of the body or climates. It can happen in any season, and during the day or night. It may be more or less pronounced, limited to hands and feet, one side of the body, or the back or head, or all over the body. In all of these cases, sweating represents a loss of the body’s Essence and an inability to control Yang functions. The second indication is an aversion to wind or draft, and the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoccurrence of Heat type reactions in response to cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChinese cinnamon twig, the chief herb in this formula, supplements Yang and releases externally contracted Wind Cold from the muscle layer, and strengthens the regulatory function of Nutritive Qi. It is combined with White peony root, the deputy, to support Protective Qi in dispelling exterior invasions and to strengthen Nutritive Qi. Ginger rhizome further assists Chinese cinnamon twig in releasing the Exterior, by warming the Middle and directing Qi downward. Red jujube fruit nourishes and harmonizes the Nutritive Qi and Blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHoney fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome harmonizes the actions of the other herbs and assists Chinese Cinnamon twig and Ginger rhizome in transforming the Yang aspects of the pattern, and White peony root and Red jujube fruit in transforming the Yin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCinnamon Twig Decoction\u003c\/strong\u003e was originally formulated during the Ming dynasty.
