[Translation]

Wind aversion (a syndrome characterized by sensitivity to wind and fear of drafts) is caused by the severe qi of the five winds. Winds differ in colors—green, white, red, black, and yellow. When their toxicity enters the five zang organs, it generates parasites; there are also five types of parasites. Consequently, discussions and formulas vary.
