Long-term Yin deficiency will eventually lead to Liver Heat, at which point the Yang will rise, at times quite vividly, with sensations of heat or excess energy rushing upward. An individual with this pattern will manifest a high concentration of physical indications in the upper body and head; descriptive drawings of this pattern often show a person who is literally “blowing their top”. Compounding the situation, when the Liver Yang rises upward, it is unable to store its resources in the form of Blood. This leads to symptoms of Blood deficiency and deeper Yin deficiency, creating a cycle which further exacerbates the Yang rising. Pent-up emotions, Qi constraint, constitutional Yang excess, aging, overwork, extreme stress, anger or poor diet all can cause the Liver Yang to ascend uncontrolled, transforming into Liver Internal Wind. This formula focuses on calming the Liver and directing the rebellious Qi downward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chief herbs Gastrodia rhizome and Gambir stem branch and twig address Liver Yang ascending, extinguish Wind, drain Liver Heat and Fire, and disperse Wind Damp obstruction.

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). The most prominent hindrance described is a combination of Wind, Damp and Cold interfering with the meridian system closest to the external environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the earliest and most famous herbal responses to the common situation of stagnation caused by obstruction was crafted by Sun Si-Miao, the greatest Chinese scholar of the Tang Dynasty. In his \u003cem\u003eThousand Ducat Formulas \u003c\/em\u003e(volume 8, section 4, 652 A.D.) he recorded one of China’s most important and enduring formulas known as “Pubescent Angelica Mulberry Mistletoe Soup” \u003cem\u003e(Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang)\u003c\/em\u003e.

It is especially designed for a person with deficiency underneath the Wind Damp Cold hinderance. 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.
