Explanation
Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles™ is a variation of the ancient formula “Tonifying the Centre and Benefitting Qi Decoction” (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang). The original formula specifically addresses Qi deficiency. The formula has been modified primarily to address the patterns of residual Dampness that is seen so frequently in these cases.
The pulse corresponding to the formula Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles™ is on the whole weak or empty. If the latter is pronounced and the pulse is on the whole slippery, then one should choose a formula that is primarily addressed at resolving Dampness and only secondarily at tonifying Qi, a formula such as Ease the Muscles™ or Drain Fields™.
