It is generally used long-term and ideally taken for at least a month, to several months.

Its deputy, White atractylodes rhizome reinforces the actions of Astragalus, by strengthening the Spleen Qi. 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.

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.

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.

It is used in combination with White peony root whenever the interior moisture ‘leaks’ while the exterior resistance is too weak to defend a person. While this is often interpreted to mean an outside pernicious influence, it is also understood in Cold Induced Disharmonies and in Zhang Zhong-jing’s other book, Essential Formulas of the Golden Chest (Jin-gui Yao-lue Fang-lun, 220 A.D.), to apply to deficient situations. Zhang Zhong- Jing describes Cinnamon twig as “tonifying and strengthening the middle” several times in his writings. This understanding is similar to the one expressed in Divine Husbandman’s Classic of the Materia Medica (Shen-nong Ben-cao Jing, 150 A.D.) in which Cinnamon is said to “tonify the middle and benefit the Qi.” Additionally, Chinese herbal tradition also considers Chinese \u003c\/em\u003eCinnamon twig an essential herb for alleviating stagnation.

The impure Qi is either further purified and concentrated by the Kidney or collected and discharged by the Bladder and Large Intestine, while the Pure Qi is transmuted by the alchemy of the Lung (after mingling with the Heavenly Qi of the atmosphere) into the “Righteous” Qi that benefits life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough their relationship, the Liver and Spleen organize the processes of digestion, transformation, assimilation and the distribution of finer and coarser substances.
