Indicated for various wind-induced conditions such as "five slacknesses and six tensions" (五缓六急), edema, slight numbness during respiration, and deficiency due to wind-emptyness. It is the most excellent formula for tonifying visceral qi. Although there are many discussions on this topic, here we briefly extract the essential formula:

The above thirty-six ingredients should all be fresh and of good quality. They are broken apart and ground into powder on the day of processing. Take one cun bi (a square-inch measure) mixed with warm clear wine, three times a day. If ineffective, gradually increase the dose up to two or three cun bi, stopping when efficacy is achieved. If one experiences bitter stuffiness in the chest, drink a small amount of cold water. Avoid raw fish, pork, and Song Cai (Chinese cabbage). Abstaining from sexual intercourse for one hundred days is highly beneficial. This formula treats wind-induced wasting and fullness, harmonizes the five zang organs, and facilitates the six fu organs. It can be taken by both men and women and is very effective for regular use. For patients with insufficient heart qi and shortness of breath, add Ren Shen (Radix Ginseng) and Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata), each 1 liang. For abdominal pain due to insufficient kidney qi, add Du Zhong (Cortex Eucommiae) and Yang Shen (Kidney of Ovis/Aries), each 2 liang. Adjust according to the disease.
Commentary: These powders contain famous herbs of the world. However, they should not be used by people with hot constitutions; they are particularly excellent for those with old cold conditions.
