[Women's Vertigo]
Half of the women suffering from Tou Feng (Head Wind) experience dizziness and vertigo upon each attack, feeling as if they are on a moving vehicle or boat. This is primarily due to Blood deficiency with Wind pathogen invading the Liver channel. The *Su Wen* states: "Blurred vision, tinnitus, dizziness, and deafness indicate Empty above and Excess below; the pathology lies in the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder and Foot Jueyin Liver channels, and when severe, it returns to the Liver." This refers to this condition. I once prescribed this formula for patients, which acts faster and more effectively than other medicines, namely Xiong Qiang Tang (Cnidium and Notopterygium Decoction). (*Ben Shi Fang*) [Note: This formula is derived from the Xiong Lao Tang in the *Sheng Ji Zong Lu* under the Headache section, with Duhuo removed, and Danggui, Qianghuo, Shudi, and Banxia Qu added.]
When women suffer from Tou Feng and vertigo, even riding in vehicles or boats causes dizziness, dry eyes, numbness in hands and feet, hair loss, forgetfulness, and irritability. All these are caused by Phlegm retained in the chest. One may use Guiti San (Melon Seed Powder) to induce vomiting. After vomiting, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) or Daren Shen Banxia Wan (Ginseng and Pinellia Pill) can be decocted with long-flowing water for administration. (*Zhi Bing Bai Fa*)
This syndrome is most common in women (these two characters were supplemented from *Yi Fang Xuan Yao*), likely because women tend to be prone to anger. The classics state: "The Qi of Heaven is called Wind; the Qi of Humans is called Anger." Anger injures Liver Wood; when Liver Qi moves, it generates Wind, causing the head and eyes to spin and dizzy. This is all due to this reason. (*Qi Xiao Liang Fang*)
In the past, an old woman suffered from red and white leukorrhea for one and a half years, accompanied by dizziness and vertigo, unable to sit or stand comfortably, finding relief only when sleeping. When the leukorrhea was specifically treated and cured, her vertigo also subsided. (*Dan Xi Xin Fa*)

(*Shen Qiao Wan Quan Fang*) *Sheng Ji Zong Lu* treats Wind pathogen attacking upward, causing dizziness, blurred vision, and chest/epigastric restlessness using Bohe San (Mint Powder). Remove Baifuzi, Tiannanxing, and Tianma from the above formula, add Gancao, take 1 qian per dose, mixed with Jingjie (Schizonepeta Spike) tea.

Take 100 pills after meals and before sleep, delivered with clear tea. Miraculous effect. (*Yi Jian*)

(*Wai Tai Mi Yao*) [Note: Identical to Gancao Fuzi Tang.]
To treat all types of spinning vertigo originating from constitutional weakness, where Wind pathogen enters the Yang channels, ascends to the head and face, and enters the brain; or due to Phlegm-Water stagnating in the upper chest/diaphragm, aggravated by severe Cold, obstructing Yang Qi, causing Phlegm-Water to condense and rush upward to the head and eyes, causing vertigo.
