In addition to being a distinguished physician, Gong was renowned for his mastery of tui-na, hence his interest in musculoskeletal disorders, for which this formula was designed.
The name of the formula is literally: Unblock the Channels and activate the Blood formula. This refers to the focus of this formulas action on activating the Blood and dispelling stasis, in addition to dispelling Wind-Cold-Damp. This makes it a powerful and relatively rapid acting treatment for various forms of severe arthralgia.
