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!)
