Formula Rationale:
This oil contains a number of strong qi-moving, blood-quickening ingredients. These include peppermint oil, tea oil, cinnamon oil, and Xue Jie (Sanguis Draconis). Not only does tea oil provide the rich smoothness of this medicated oil, the xanthines it contains are also very stimulating to the qi and blood. Peppermint oil, tea oil, and Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae) are all cool or cold and clear heat. Cinnamon oil is warm and warms and frees the flow of the channels and vessels. The addition of cinnamon oil insures that the heat-clearing ingredients are not overly cold and, therefore, constricting, while the cool and cold ingredients insure that cinnamon oil does not aggravate heat with heat. Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) enters all 12 channels and moderates and regulates the harsh qualities of the other herbs, whether hot or cold. When used topically, it also resolves toxins and emolliates and softens the skin.
