Internal Wind

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all that answered this question I have about internal wind.

 

I guess the thing about Maciocia's explanation that struck me is that it sounds

like he is saying--the emptiness is causing the wind-- and that is not how I

understand it from reading other texts, Deng's included. In Will Maclean and

Jane Lyttleton's Clinical Handbook of Internal Medicine they state, " This type

of wind [blood vacuity] is similar to aetiology to the previous type [yin

vacuity] in that the wind is generated by failure of the blood to anchor qi -

when qi moves without the grounding control of blood, a mild form of wind is

generated. Blood deficient wind is more likely to cause mild rhythmic tics,

tremors and spasms. The dizziness associated with blood deficiiency is more

likely to be mild and postural, and due to failure of blood to reach the head. "

 

This seems to be a slightly different mechanism and I would interested to hear

what you all think of it and how you would compare and contrast it to others.

 

Thanks,
