This is the go-to formula for body aches and pains especially on the back. Often times, but not always, these pains are aggravated by cold and/or damp weather. The theory is that cold or damp qi from the environment get into the acupuncture channels which then prevent the free flow of qi-energy and blood (which causes pain!)

• These are three of the four key herbs used for digestive health (or Spleen qi) in Chinese medicine. With better digestion, fluid metabolism in the digestive tract is regulated which means there is less dampness being produced from within the body. This helps prevent internal dampness from aggravating the external dampness coming in from outside the body (such as the weather).
