Interior Wind
In traditional theory, Interior Wind represents abnormal movement generated within the body, often involving Liver wind, stirring yang, deficiency of blood or yin, or severe phlegm and heat. Its conceptual role is to explain tremor, convulsion, dizziness, deviation, sensory change, and other signs of disturbed movement or clear orifices.
