The original formula is well established for its ability to dissipate swellings, and Spring Wind's adaptation refines its action by incorporating \u003cem\u003eHuang Bai\u003c\/em\u003e (Phellodendron bark) to clear heat and resolve toxin - an important addition, as the dissipating agents in this class of formula tend to be warm and acrid in nature and thus require a cooling counterbalance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula focuses on swelling reduction and is indicated when swelling, rather than pain, is the prominent feature.
