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.

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.
