What does it mean to "treat wind first and treat blood first, then blood will be destroyed by wind"?

“To treat wind, first treat the blood, and the blood-moving wind will disappear on its own” is the method used by Chen Ziming, a physician in the Song Dynasty, to treat women with long-lasting tendons due to evil wind. Due to the invasion of wind evil, it flows through the meridians, hinders Qi and blood, and blocks the blood meridians. As a result, a series of symptoms such as numbness of the skin and hemiplegia may occur. Treatment starts with nourishing and promoting blood circulation, so that the blood vessels can be smooth and the blood can flow smoothly, so that evil winds will have no place to tolerate. Borrowing Chen's theoretical perspective can explain the pathogenesis of "internal wind" and is of great significance in guiding clinical treatment.

It has two explanations:

The first is to regulate the blood, such as replenishing blood, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so that the original wind evil in the body can be eliminated;

The second explanation is that by treating blood, one can achieve sufficient qi and blood and a strong body. Internal wind cannot arise, external wind cannot invade and the wind will destroy it.

Basic concept of blood

Blood is a red liquid substance that circulates in the veins and is rich in nutrients. It is the component that constitutes the human body and maintains human life. One of the basic substances of activity.

Pulse is the channel through which blood circulates. Blood circulates throughout the body in the pulse, so the pulse is also called the "blood house". The pulse plays a role in restricting the circulation of blood. The blood circulates throughout the body through the pulse, internally to the organs and externally to the limbs, and so on.

If for some reason, the blood flows slowly and stagnantly in the pulse, and if it cannot accumulate, it will cause blood stasis. If due to trauma or other reasons, the blood does not flow in the veins but escapes out of the veins, bleeding will occur, which is called "blood from the menstrual flow". If the menstrual blood cannot be drained or dissipated in time, it will turn into blood stasis. Menstrual blood and blood stasis have lost the normal physiological functions of blood.

Blood circulates throughout the body through the meridians, providing nutrition and moisturizing, providing nutrients for the physiological activities of the organs, meridians, body, and organs, and is the fundamental guarantee for human life activities. Lack of blood supply to any part of the human body can affect its normal physiological activities, causing physiological function disorders and tissue structure damage. Severe ischemia can also be life-threatening.

Water grain essence and kidney essence are the basis of blood metaplasia. Under the simultaneous action of the spleen, stomach, heart, lungs, kidneys and other internal organs, they undergo a series of gasification processes and are transformed into blood. Blood runs in the channels, circulates continuously, and flows throughout the body to ensure that it nourishes the physiological functions of the whole body.
