Slow Fright Wind / Man Jing Feng
Updated 2026-08-02
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
Slow fright wind (Man Jing Feng) is a pediatric pattern in traditional Chinese medicine marked by convulsions that come on gradually and recur over time, often after a long illness, with a pale complexion and cold limbs. It contrasts with acute fright wind: rather than excess heat, the cause is deficiency, typically spleen-kidney yang deficiency or yin deficiency stirring wind. Because the underlying state is depletion, treatment warms and supplements the spleen and kidneys and gently settles the liver instead of clearing heat.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Dry-leaf read: interpret a slight tremor in a depleted system as weakness rather than as excess. - Direction check: confirm the deficiency picture before applying any cooling treatment. - Nutrient framing: address the convulsion by restoring what nourishes the sinews, not by suppressing the movement.
Anchor fast decisions
When blood and yin fail to nourish the sinews, the tissue loses tone and becomes twitchy, so even a small disturbance produces visible tremor. This is a failure of support rather than an excess of force, which is why cooling or suppressing treatment deepens the problem: it removes what little function remains. Supplying the deficient foundation restores the stability of the tissue from below rather than from the surface.
