Numbness & Heaviness: A sensation of "dead weight" in the arms or tingling in the fingers (numbness due to blood not reaching the extremities).
Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty turning the neck or lifting the arms (Frozen Shoulder).
Weather Sensitivity: Pain that worsens with wind or damp/rainy weather.
Key Indicator: "Deficiency-Precipitated Bi Syndrome"—where the pain persists not because the pathogen is "strong," but because the body’s Qi and Blood are too "thin" to push the pathogen out of the channels.

Description
The technical brilliance of this formula lies in its "Double-Door" strategy: it opens the "exterior door" to let the wind out while simultaneously reinforcing the "interior walls" so the wind cannot return.
The Moving Pair (Jiang Huang & Qiang Huo): These are the "Lead" herbs. Jiang Huang (Turmeric) is exceptional at breaking Blood Stasis specifically in the shoulders. Qiang Huo is the specialized guide for the "Tai Yang" channel (upper back/neck), driving the wind and dampness out of the upper joints.
The Shield (Huang Qi & Fang Feng): This combination creates the "Jade Screen" effect. Huang Qi builds the Qi to push from the inside out, while Fang Feng (Wind Protector) stalks and expels the wind from the surface.
The Blood Support (Dang Gui & Bai Shao): Since "to treat Wind, one must first treat the Blood," Dang Gui moves and tonifies the blood (wine-washing increases its moving power), while Bai Shao softens the tendons and relieves the cramping/stiffness.
The Harmonizer (Sheng Jiang & Gan Cao): These ensure the stomach can process the heavy moving herbs and help distribute the formula to the limbs.
Posology
Granules
3 to 9g daily, divided into 2 doses, taken with warm water after meals.
Raw Plants
Decoct in 800ml of water and drink 1 to 2 cups per day. For acute stiffness, the decoction should be taken warm to encourage mild sweating, which helps "vent" the wind.
Cautions
Not indicated for Heat-Bi (joints that are red, swollen, and hot to the touch). This formula is warm and acrid; it will worsen inflammatory heat. Use with caution in cases of severe Yin deficiency (dryness/night sweats). Because it contains strong blood-movers like Jiang Huang and Dang Gui, consult a practitioner if taking blood-thinning medications.
