Description	This formula comes from Zhang Zhong-ping's late Han dynasty Shan Han Lun (Treatise on Damage {Due to}Cold). Within this formula, Bai Shao nourishes the blood and enriches yin, emolliates the liver and stops pain. Mix-fried Gan Cao supplements the qi. Together, these two medicinals harmonize the liver and spleen and nourish the sinews. This formula is typically added to other formulas when there is spasm of the sinews and/or abdominal pain.
Ingredients	Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Albae) - 357 mg; mix-fried Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) - 143 mg
