Clear Channels is indicated for a chronic condition of Wind-Cold-Damp painful obstruction, which over time has transformed into Heat and caused swelling and pain in the joints. When the pernicious influences of Wind and Dampness have settled in the body, they will commonly move to the lower extremities where they will cause edema and joint pain. This Damp obstruction can also block the ascent of the clear Yang and cause such symptoms as headaches, dizziness, weight loss and a lack of appetite. One primary manifestation of this pattern is that the Heat and swelling will be worse in the evening and confined strictly to the joints, as compared to Yin vacuity symptoms, where there are more systemic Heat signs. Clear Channels has the unique addition of the "five vines" which strengthen the action of the Cinnamon and Anemarrhena combination by further expelling Wind and Damp, unblocking the channels and alleviating pain.*
