This formula expels external influences and converts dampness to restore and balance the normal qi. It addresses externally contracted wind-cold combined with internal stagnation caused by qi blockage. The protective qi becomes constricted, leading to chills, while fighting the normal qi causes fever. The most yang channels, especially those passing through the head, are the first affected by wind-cold, resulting in a headache. Internal stagnation hampers the qi movement in the middle burner, causing a feeling of fullness, chest oppression, and abdominal pain. It also disrupts the normal upward and downward flow functions of the middle burner.
