Ease the Muscles™ is a variation of Lian Po Yin (Coptis-Magnolia Decoction). The formula has proved highly effective in eliminating Damp-Heat. If the tongue has a thick-sticky yellow coating, the pulse is predominantly Slippery and Full, one can proceed to eliminate Damp-Heat before tonifying the body’s Qi.

The formula is ideally suited to do this, as it is aimed at resolving Dampness and clearing Heat from the muscles, from the head and from the Stomach and Spleen.

• Huang Qi and Bai Zhu were added to introduce some tonification
• Sha Ren and Huo Xiang are two fragrant herbs which resolve Dampness from the muscles
• Yi Yi Ren and Fu Ling drain Dampness and were added to strengthen the overall Dampness-resolving effect of the formula

This formula should be chosen if the Excess aspect predominates over the Deficiency. If the latter predominates, consider using Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles™. If there is Dampness without Heat, use Drain Fields™.
