External Wind penetrates the body’s exterior through the “pores and cracks”. The concept of External Wind not only includes the movement of air, but any sudden changes in the external environment that disrupt the organism’s ability to adapt. Adequate circulation of Blood and Qi, \u003cem\u003eYing\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWei \u003c\/em\u003ethroughout the surface blocks the ability of External Wind to penetrate the exterior or surface layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen External Wind makes its way across the defensive boundary of the skin and muscles, it prepares the way for invasion of Heat, Summer Heat or Dampness, as if these other agents were riding “piggyback” on the Wind. Once it penetrates the external regions, External Wind (particularly if it is joined with Heat, Cold or Dampness) can lodge within the channels (\u003cem\u003eJing-luo\u003c\/em\u003e), resulting in the obstruction of Qi, Blood and Moisture circulation. The obstruction of the superficial circulation of Qi and Blood characterizes many classical patterns of disharmony the Wei or Defense Qi in the surface layers and Luo Channels and Vessels.\u003cstrong\u003e Purge External Wind \u003c\/strong\u003eeffectively activates the Blood and Qi, the Ying and Wei, to support the body’s exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRATIONALE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSiler root, Notopterygium root and rhizome, Fragrant angelica root and Sichuan lovage rhizome dispel External Wind from the skin and muscle layers, especially from the \u003cem\u003eTai Yang\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eShao Yang \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eYang Ming \u003c\/em\u003echannels.
