Supports healthy blood circulation, supports healthy liver function, supports healthy digestive system, supports healthy urinary system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour Cold Extremities\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses a variety of patterns resulting from constrained Qi in the Interior. These indications range from a very simple presentation of occasional cold extremities (below the elbows and knees), to Liver and Spleen disharmony accompanied by an excess, wiry pulse, to patterns where constrained Qi is present with contradictory signs like Hot\/Cold or Dryness\/Dampness. The common ground for this formula is constrained or stagnant Qi in the Interior, supported by the appearance of an excess pulse with occasional frigid or cold extremities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the formula is to regulate Qi by venting Heat, releasing the constrained Qi. These are the two primary functions of the chief herb, Bupleurum root. It moves the Liver Qi while simultaneously venting to the Exterior. It lifts the clear Yang, which allows the turbid Yin to descend and harmonizes the Qi mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitter orange immature fruit, the deputy, regulates Liver Qi stagnation and disperses accumulation, especially of the Middle Burner, supports the Spleen, and breaks up constrained Qi in the Interior of the body. White peony root, the assistant, nourishes Blood and Liver, and smooths the movement of Qi throughout the body. This herb holds things in, in contrast to the chief herb Bupleurum root, which disperses. The combination disseminates Liver Qi without injuring Liver Yin. When the Liver is nourished, so are the sinews, muscles and tendons, a direct reflection of the interaction between the Liver (sinews and tendons) and Spleen (muscles). Honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome harmonizes the properties of the other herbs in the formula, but also strengthens the Spleen and Middle Burner Qi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour Cold Extremities\u003c\/strong\u003e disperses while also astringing and nourishing, facilitating both ascent and descent, moving Yang while supporting Yin, moving the Liver while supporting the Spleen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this formula is a harmonizing formula like \u003cstrong\u003eFree and Easy Wanderer\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eMinor Bupleurum\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is important to differentiate them. In the case of \u003cstrong\u003eFree and Easy Wanderer\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Spleen is deficient and the pulse will be wiry but also deficient, showing signs of Spleen Qi and Blood deficiency. \u003cstrong\u003eMinor Bupleurum\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonizes the interior and the exterior layers whenthere are occasional alternating sensations of hot and cold, which points to a blockup of the Shao Yang layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombine with \u003cstrong\u003eDigestive Harmony Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e for occasional food stagnation.
