Gracious Power was originally formulated to treat people who had the seeming appearance of Liver Qi blockage and seemed to be pushing against boundaries all the time but, in reality, had insufficient Liver moisture to relax and receive.  On the physical level, the formula is originally for chest-flank pain and acid regurgitationi and any symptom of Liver Qi stagnation that is actually rooted in deficiency yin.  The formula can also treat Liver invading Lung and therefore be used for chronic cough.  Some physicians have noted that this formula can be used as a general tonic for treating generalized Yin deficiency that is configured by the Liver meridian.*
