Description	"Zhang's formula treats cold stiff hands and feet due to blood deficiency. It is useful for cold limbs during or following menses. 'Si Ni' is commonly translated as 'four cold-limbs' although the actual translation is 'four counter-flow', which means that the qi and blood in the four limbs are moving against their natural direction. This results in cold limbs. --Fratkin - Chinese Herbal Patent Medicines
