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. These three new herbs allow \u003cstrong\u003eGracious \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower \u003c\/strong\u003eto gently and additionally embrace and comfort the Heart meridian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGracious Power \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made two other modifications in “Linking Decoction.” Turmeric root tuber has replaced the Melia fruit of the original formula. 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.

The herb helps a person look within and be comfortable with what is perceived. Lycium fruit is an important herb that tonifies the Blood, Yin and Essence \u003cem\u003e(Jing) \u003c\/em\u003eand generally softens the Liver, supports healthy vision and self-awareness and moistens the Lower and Middle Burners.

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.

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.

When Liver Qi stagnates and does not ascend as it normally would, it begins to flow horizontally by invading the Stomach and Spleen, causing distention and fullness in the abdomen.
