Discussion: The manifestations of Rou Feng (Soft Wind) include the inability to control or contract the four limbs, and stiffness preventing supine posture. This is due to the deficiency of both Qi and Blood, allowing Wind pathogen to invade. If the Wind pathogen affects the Yang aspect and battles on the exterior, the skin becomes flaccid; if it invades the Yin aspect and penetrates the interior, abdominal tension and pain occur.

Take half a spoonful mixed with warm wine when fasting and before sleep, increasing to one spoonful. For women's blood-wind, this decoction is miraculous. Wrap the remaining dregs in cloth while hot.

Note: Text says "Xiong", likely Xiong Dui/San Ji or similar, but context suggests a root/rhizome, possibly Xiong Dui or typo for something else. Given "Ge Wu Liang", likely a standard herb. Let's assume Xiong Dui or similar based on "Xiong". Actually, looking at common formulas, it might be Xiong Dui or just a typo. I will translate as "Xiong" as per text, likely referring to a specific root). Each five liang.
