Wind pathogenic factors can affect the five Zang organs, namely the Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney. Among the conditions where the five Zang organs are invaded by wind, the signs of life and death differ for each.
**Heart Wind:** The manifestation includes spontaneous sweating, a preference for lying on the back, inability to turn over in bed, and delirious speech. If the lips are distinctly red, there is hope for recovery; moxibustion should be applied to Xinshu (BL-15, Heart Shu). If the lips and face exhibit varying colors such as cyan, yellow, white, or black, and the eyes move incessantly, this indicates the exhaustion of Heart Qi, which is incurable, and death will occur within five to six days.
**Liver Wind:** The manifestation involves cyan coloration surrounding the eyes and extending to the forehead. If the patient can only sit upright and cannot bend or stoop, it is treatable. However, if there is panting, fixed staring eyes, and cyan discoloration of both lips and face, death ensues. Moxibustion should be applied to Ganshu (BL-18, Liver Shu) for Liver Wind.
**Spleen Wind:** The manifestation includes generalized yellowing of the body, abdominal distension and fullness, loss of appetite, and weakness of the four limbs preventing support. If the hands and feet are not cyan while the face is yellow, it is treatable; otherwise, death follows. Moxibustion should be applied to Pishu (BL-20, Spleen Shu) for Spleen Wind.
**Kidney Wind:** The manifestation is characterized by an inability to sit except in a squatting position, accompanied by heaviness and pain in the lower back and legs. If no yellow spots appear under the hypochondrium upon observation, it is treatable; otherwise, death occurs. Moxibustion should be applied to Shenshu (BL-23, Kidney Shu) for Kidney Wind.
**Lung Wind:** The manifestation includes chest fullness, dizziness, sweating, anosmia (loss of smell), panting with inability to lie flat, all of which are treatable. However, if there is hemoptysis/hemorrhage and delirious speech, it is incurable, and death will occur within seven to eight days. Moxibustion should be applied to Feishu (BL-13, Lung Shu) for Lung Wind.
Regarding pulse diagnosis: A slippery and scattered pulse indicates wind; a slow and large, floating and tight (or deficient), soft and weak pulse also belongs to wind patterns.
In cases of **Zhong Feng (Wind Stroke)**: If the area below the nose shows mixed red and black discoloration, with foaming at the mouth and rigid body posture, death occurs in seven days. In another presentation of Zhong Feng, if there is trismus (lockjaw) and tendon tension with a slow pulse, there is hope for survival; however, if the pulse is rapid and urgent, death ensues.
If both the Heart and Spleen are struck by wind, the tongue becomes stiff and speech is impaired. If both the Liver and Kidney are struck by wind, paralysis of the extremities occurs.
**Feng Jue (Wind-related Syncope/Jue Syndrome):** These arise from abnormal climatic qi of the four seasons, leading to various diseases. Manifestations include Yin Zhen (urticaria/pruritus), Pian Ku (hemiplegia), Shi Yin (aphonia), Li Jie (painful joints), Dian Jue (sudden collapse/syncope), pain, Long Gu (deafness and blindness), Chuang Lai (skin sores/leprosy-like lesions), Zhang Man (distension and fullness), Chan Fa (panting and fatigue), Chi Bai (red and white discharges/dysentery), Qing Hei (cyan and black discoloration), Sao Yang (itching), and Wang Kuang (delirium/madness). All these originate from wind.
Etiology based on pulse and symptoms:
- Floating and deficient pulses indicate acquisition due to deficiency.
- Excessively large pulses indicate acquisition due to excess.
- String-tight pulses indicate acquisition following sweating.
- Panting and fatigue indicate acquisition due to excessive alcohol consumption.
- Dian Jue (syncope/seizures) indicates acquisition due to overwork.
- Limb paralysis and slurred speech indicate acquisition due to sexual indiscretion.
- Yin Zhen (urticaria) indicates acquisition due to Bi Shi (obstructive dampness).
- Li Jie pain (joint pain) indicates acquisition due to intercourse while intoxicated.
- Deafness, blindness, sores, and skin lesions indicate acquisition due to improper diet violating dietary taboos.
Although manifestations are myriad, they do not deviate from the pathology of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs. The observed signs correspond to these principles.
