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.

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.
