  • Mu Gua and Rx. Paeoniae Alba Bai Shao are often paired for treating sinew disorders, particularly cramping of the muscles and sinews. Mu Gua emphasizes transforming Dampness to relax the sinews, making it suited to Damp-predominant conditions such as sudden turmoil disorder or Damp Bi with restricted joint movement; it also harmonizes the Spleen to address vomiting, diarrhea, and "leg Qi" with edema. Bai Shao, by contrast, nourishes the Blood, astringes the Yin, and softens the Liver to relax the sinews, treating spasms, cramping, and pain that arise from malnourished muscles and sinews due to Yin and Blood Deficiency; it further addresses Yin Deficiency with Floating Yang as well as gynecological disorders.
  • Mu Gua and Faeces Bombycis Can Sha both harmonize the Middle, clear Dampness, and relieve cramping that follows vomiting and diarrhea. Mu Gua is the stronger choice for harmonizing the Middle, clearing Dampness, calming the Liver, and relaxing the sinews, and can also be applied to Blood Deficiency with Liver Excess causing cramps and pain from malnourished tendons. Can Sha, meanwhile, is better suited to expelling Wind for Wind-Dampness and is also useful for itching.

Wu Mei enters the Lungs to astringe, the Intestines to bind, and the sinews and bones to soften, and it also draws parasites out of hiding; it removes dead muscle tissue, noxious flesh and toxic moles, and extracts embedded splinters from the flesh. Mu Gua, by contrast, clears and drains Damp-Heat from the Spleen, Stomach, sinews and bones, while astringing depleted primal Qi of the Spleen and Lungs.
  • Dry-fried Chaenomelis Fruit, Chao Mu Gua, has an enhanced ability to transform Dampness and harmonize the Stomach, making it well suited to Food Stagnation that injures the Spleen and Stomach or to Dampness in the Middle Jiao.
