Commentary
Taking leek white (Jiu-bai) as the chief herb, the formula draws on its pungent flavor and warm property: its action follows the Liver, Stomach meridians and works to warm the middle, disperse cold and activate blood. Brown sugar (Hong-tang) functions as the harmonizing (envoy) ingredient, working to warm the middle, activate blood and harmonize the formula and unite the separate actions into one. Collectively, the combination promote Yang and disperse nodules, addressing the cold pattern.
