A method of treatment used to address persistent wind-damp with disharmony of the blood and vessels and liver-kidney depletion characterized by cold pain of the lumbus and knee using formulas like Pubescent Angelica and Mistletoe Decoction (独活寄生汤 dú huó jì shēng tāng). This formula contains not only wind-damp-dispelling medicinals and liver-kidney-supplementing medicinals but also Chinese angelica (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 当归 dāng guī), white peony (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 白芍药 bái sháo yào), chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 川芎 chuān xiōng), and cooked rehmannia (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 熟地黄 shú dì huáng), which harmonize provisioning and nourish the blood, and free the vessels, thereby enabling the wind to disperse. Dispelling wind and nourishing the blood is a method of treatment that accords with the principle that to treat wind, first treat the blood; when the blood moves, wind naturally disappears.
