Wind in Traditional Chinese Medicine is considered one of the “external pathogens” that can invade the body, especially during seasonal changes like spring. In TCM, wind can carry other factors like cold, heat, or dampness deeper into the body and disrupt your system.
Signs of “wind invasion” may include:
* Sudden headaches
* Stiff neck and shoulders
* Sneezing or cold symptoms
* Itchy skin or hives
* Dizziness
* Facial paralysis/Bell’s palsy
* Muscle spasms or twitching
Protect your body by covering the back of your neck on windy days, avoiding getting chilled after sweating, and supporting your immune system with rest, nourishing foods, and acupuncture.
In TCM, where wind goes, symptoms can move and change quickly. Stay grounded, stay warm, and protect your energy this spring. 🍃
