Clinician Notes
For blood stagnation and qi deficiency. This formula is generally for chronic illness or chronic poor lifestyle. The qi moves the blood, therefore a chronic qi deficiency almost always results in some degree of blood stagnation. Additionally, when both qi and blood are weak there is a greatly chance than wind can invade and block the normal flow of the channels. Unchecked wind can lead to numbness, shaking, spasms, and even paralysis due to its disruptive nature.
