As the low back is the domain of the Kidneys, and the sinews and joints are the domain of the Liver, people with Liver and Kidney deficiencies are subject to pain in the low back, the joints, and lower extremities. Chronic painful obstruction can also lead to deficiency because of restricted nourishment in the area. Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang is prescribed for painful obstruction in the lower body with Liver and Kidney deficiency.
