Kudzu Releasing Formula is designed for Wind-Cold invasions that block the exterior Tai Yang Channel, causing a stiff neck and shoulders, stuffy nose and chills and fever without sweating. In this pattern the Wind-Cold pathogen becomes lodged between the muscle layer and skin, blocking the circulation of the Defensive Qi from reaching the upper body, creating tension in the upper back and neck. Kudzu Releasing Formula relieves the exterior and generates fluids that are needed to alleviate stiffness and rigidity. This prescription is also used for a combination Tai Yang/Yang Ming disorder with the sudden onset of diarrhea and for treating the transitional stage between an acute and chronic rhinitis or sinusitis.*
