My opinion: The use of Mu Xiang (Aucklandia Root) here is specifically for depression and pain. If there is no pain/depression, Mu Xiang should be removed to avoid aromatic dryness, which would be better for Qi deficiency with moving Blood. Also, Yuan Zhi (Polygala Root) is acrid and ascending/dispersing; those with profuse sweating and irritability should use it cautiously.
