"Zhang's formula treats cold stiff hands and feet due to blood deficiency. It is useful for cold limbs during or following menses. 'Si Ni' is commonly translated as 'four cold-limbs' although the actual translation is 'four counter-flow', which means that the qi and blood in the four limbs are moving against their natural direction.
