You Feng (Wandering Wind) refers to the sudden onset of redness, swelling, and pain on the skin and muscles, which migrates without a fixed location. This is caused by the stagnation of Wind-Heat pathogenic factors, leading to the impairment of Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi) circulation, thus exhibiting characteristics of rapid movement and frequent changes. Compared with Dan Du (Erysipelas), which presents only with redness, swelling, and millet-grain-like papules without migration, You Feng is distinct. For cases attributed to Wind-Heat, characterized by red coloration, Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) should be used with added Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root) and Lian Qiao (Forsythia Fruit) to clear heat. In cases with severe internal heat, Zi Xue San (Purple Snow Powder) should be administered to purge; if the swelling is severe, Bian Shi therapy (scarification) should be employed. For cases attributed to Wind-Cold, characterized by pale coloration, Jing Fang Bai Du San (Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia Powder to Resolve Toxicity) should be used to disperse. If it is a Blood-Heat pattern, Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) with added Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root), Zhi Zi (Gardenia Fruit), and Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) is indicated. For Spleen-Stomach deficiency, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with added Fang Feng and Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Root) is suitable. For Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency with empty heat, Jia Wei Xiao Yao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) and Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) should be used to nourish the source of transformation, thereby extinguishing fire, settling wind, and stopping itching. Misuse of acrid-warm wind-dispelling herbs will further damage Yuan Qi (Original Qi), causing Wind pathogen to invade internally and blood to transform with fire, making treatment difficult. Red swelling that migrates into the abdomen is incurable. Refer to the section on Infantile Red Wandering Wind for reference.
Some cases arise from excessive consumption of distilled spirits; drinking one or two cups of cold rice vinegar can resolve it. This is a case that appears similar but is actually different, requiring careful differentiation.

Yin Zhen (Itchy Rash) manifests as small granular papules within the skin, accompanied by aversion to cold, fever, and generalized pruritus. The Classic states: "Sweat from labor exposed to wind causes stagnation, resulting in Fei Cuo (heat rash)." When heat is mild, the color is red; when heat is severe, the color is black. This is due to Phlegm-Heat residing in the Lung. Treatment should focus on clearing the Lung, descending Phlegm, and releasing the exterior, such as using Xiao Du Yin Zi (Toxin-Resolving Drink). If purgation is indicated, Da Chai Hu Tang (Greater Bupleurum Decoction) may be used. For deficiency patterns, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang is appropriate. Alternatively, Jia Wei Qiang Huo San (Modified Notopterygium Powder) can be used generally.
Rashes belong to Shaoyin Jun Huo (Ministerial Fire of Shaoyin); Maculae have no head and swell externally, belonging to Shaoyang Xiang Huo (Ministerial Fire of Shaoyang). Spontaneous vomiting and diarrhea, with the body being warm or cool, are auspicious signs. Topical cooling medicines are contraindicated. Purgatives should be used cautiously at both the beginning and end of treatment. If constipation occurs, mild purgation is sufficient. Therefore, for conditions such as Yin Zhen pruritus, nodules, and Dan Du, blood-cooling and dryness-moistening methods are appropriate, such as Jia Wei Xiao Yao San or Jia Wei Xiao Chai Hu Tang. Wind-dispelling herbs should be used cautiously to avoid damaging Yuan Qi, which could lead to tendon spasms. If white scales appear on the skin after recovery, and scratching feels like passing through silk, this indicates Qi and Blood deficiency. Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Comprehensive Great Tonifying Decoction) should be used, or Quchi (LI11) moxibustion may be applied (see Moxibustion Section).
Jia Wei Qiang Huo Tang: Treats Yin Zhen caused by external invasion of Wind, Cold, Summer-Heat, and Dampness clashing with the skin and muscles, presenting with aversion to cold, fever, generalized pruritus, redness or pallor, and in severe cases, mental confusion, bitter taste in the mouth, and dry throat.
Herbs: Qiang Huo (Notopterygium Rhizome and Root), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix) (each 1 liang); Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Jie Geng (Platycodon Root), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, honey-fried), Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus), Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome), Fu Ling (Poria) (each 5 qian); Chan Tui (Cicada Slough, heads removed), Bo He (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) (each 3 qian).
Grind the above into powder. Take 3–4 qian per dose, with 3 slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and 1 zhong of water, decoct until 0.7 zhong remains, strain, and take warm.
Yu Ye Gao (Feather Fluid Ointment): Treats maculopapular rashes and persistent wind-induced pruritus.
Ingredients: Bai Fan (Alumen) (5 liang), Tong Bian (Child's Urine) (1 sheng), Huang Jiu (Yellow Wine) (3 he).
Decoct together until a thin paste forms. Dip cotton cloth in the medicine and rub the affected area; relief is immediate.
