As in the natural world, inside a body when here is too much change, wind – the rapid movement from one state and place to another happens. This creates changes that are unsustainable and damaging.
Inner wind shows up as a state of trembles, shaking, jerkiness, or pains that move from one location to another. Usually traveling upwards, the Liver Qi is always involved and its agitation spreads. Common conditions that are wind related: epilepsy, stroke, in severe cases tremors seen in Parkinson’s and motor neurone disorders.
Also possible is no movement (paralysis) as the wind has overtaken the ability of inner communication.
Outer wind is easier to understand – sudden movement of air – and standing/being/sleeping in a draft and not being sufficiently strong within will give the condition of wind – cold in the facial channels – Bell’s palsy. It is said that over 1 in 8 people in the word will have this condition at some stage in their lives.
The wind external enters in the wind points (usually have the word FENG in their title. These points are often at the junction of the head and the neck, and are called ‘wind points’. When the clearing eternally cause wind, internally generated wind, these points may be remarkably tender, and may be used as an indicator of presence of wind, or a way to alleviate it.
There are also acupoints on the body whose job is seen as to remove wind. Back in 1978, In one case of severe Parkinson’s disease, the sufferer was movement free for two weeks after I worked out his ‘Stems and Branches’ – astrological conditions specific to them, that day and time and put in ONE needle. This is advanced, classical acupuncture unlikely to be taught in these times.
Inner wind occurs in a state of imbalance, usually involving weakness of the Blood and or the Yin where often ‘aging’ may be blamed for neurological deteriorating and wasting complaints. Tourette’s syndrome is a case where one man had most of his inner wind quietened by one session – he did not return – he was writing books, and his entire identity was bound up in being Tourette’s. Included in signs of magnesium depletion/deficiency. Maybe remove the metals that are not biologically needed that are stuck in the tissues?
There will be a state of magnesium unavailability to co-create this drama. Such unlikely metals within the body – aluminium and mercury being the main culprits lock the necessary elements from being seen – and thus often removing these will allow the nutrients – in this case essential macro minerals – from being seen and used. See more on magnesium here and aluminium as a huge issue in all brain wind manifestations here and mercury as the second most toxic to life invader here.
Western modern ‘medicine’ – due in large part tor the Flexnor Report completely taking over critical thinking and forging a tunnel through which research and analysis are seen – means that this is likely downplayed, if not totally rubbished in places that pride themselves – ‘metastatistical analysis’ research wise) in being the pinnacle of thought. When it is you or a loved one in trouble, you want answers. Changing the paradigm as taking in a different model of thinking at least short term – may help you find answers.
Pre or eclampsia is a classic example – all is deemed to be OK till it is not. (Medical ineptitude). Without the framework to observe the changes, those changes may seem random. As in all cases of inner wind – and thus Liver Qi Stuck, more trouble is created as it escalates. The role of nutrients – especially magnesium and likely needed topically to be instantly absorbed – is critical. See more here. Why wait till death is imminent to prove that point that there is only one ‘right’ way to see life? True in all cases – not only pregnancy.
Medically they will end pregnancy to fill mum’s veins with an equivalent of Epsom salts – this is absurd! Magnesium is an essential ingredient for all life and its lack is easily remedied. It is not safe to NOT have the nutrients needed to run a body – especially when in making another person. Diagram taken from my 2005 book What Dads Can Do – explaining to anyone how the situation deteriorates and how you can correct it – undo the causes.
If the situation gets out of hand – as often happens in late pregnancy as too many people are ‘watchfully waiting’ and then ending the pregnancy early, rather than FIXING the troubles, the main issue is wilful blindness – “it can’t be that simple“. Why not? Supply what is missing., Body no longer has to warn you. Except that it is – as with all nature and machines we have parameters that we must operate within. Watching the escalation is inconsciounable when seen from a different model of care. there are easy answers – and topical and oral magnesium are two major ones. If not this happens – and stroke, CVA and death are next.
Meningitis and other acute brain attacks are showing aspects of wind. Also usually Heat. The damage created shows as fitting and either paralysis of the muscles – and pain then extreme injury as the wind attacks the brain directly. Likely using needles in these conditions will not assuage the entry of the ‘evil wind’ – being a pathogen of biological origin, but may calm some of the symptoms. Likely in times past the spectacular herbalists may have had answers found in ancient texts to deal with the entire process.
These apparently impossible issues need a different perspective and East Asian medicine is often explanatory and thus redemptive. Parkinson’s disease, and any state where there is unwanted and uncontrolled movement, or the opposite, paralysis but the inner wind can be seen also where there is itching. Generally there will be inner Heat also involved and the removal of the cause of the Heat and thus the wind accompanying, is vital. Plastering creams on top if a skin complaint may ‘shut the itch up’ temporarily, but as in all things – the body is attempting to rid itself of something and is a plain message.
Wind is obvious as it is moving, and can often be seen in a deviated tongue. Wind within never bodes well.
