Perhaps I am mistaken, but AFAIK the reason why XCHT

is so liberally used in Japan is because it is the

basic formula associated with subcostal reactions (a

very common finding) in abdominal dx. Most Japanese

herbalists practice more in the style of Toudou

Yoshimasu than any modern TCM authority. Theory or

past medical hx is less important than what is

currently presenting in any given patient.

I thought it was also used for improving health in a weak patient even w/out subcostal reaction
