CORE DEFINITION

“Treat wind by treating blood; when blood moves, wind naturally ceases.” To treat urticaria, itching, or tremor (internal wind), one should not merely dispel wind but also nourish and invigorate blood.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Carrier replacement. Wind moves chaotically in the body because of blood deficiency (leaving space) or blood stasis (blocking flow). When blood is nourished and unobstructed, wind has no place to reside.

"Treat wind by treating blood; when blood moves, wind naturally ceases." Wind syndromes (itching, tremor, wandering) often originate from blood deficiency generating wind or blood stasis obstructing the collaterals—when blood is insufficient, wind has gaps; when blood is not smooth, wind is agitated. Nourishing/invigorating the blood causes wind to lose its attachment and cease. Analogy: surface turbulence (wind) stems from the underlying carrier (blood) being deficient or blocked.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/1

Practice this model in one real situation:

When encountering surface problems that are "chaotic/out of control" (conflicts, fluctuations, losses), first check whether the underlying carrier is deficient or blocked (resources/processes/trust), and address the root rather than merely suppressing the symptoms. Management analogy: first stabilize the team (blood) then resolve the issue (wind).
