Wind-heat syndrome arises from the deficiency of the skin and interstices (pores and texture of the skin). The pathogenic factors of wind and heat first damage the body surface (skin and hair), then enter the Lung. When wind remains in the chest and diaphragm, it causes stagnation and obstruction in the Heart and Lungs, leading to floating heat on the head and face, as well as mental confusion and irritability; thus, it is termed Wind-heat. Dietary therapy is appropriate for treatment. The following prescriptions address wind-heat causing irritability in the chest and heart, and insomnia:
