Treatment principle: Release the exterior, dispel the Wind pathogen, calm stirring of internal Wind.

Tongue: Red body, swollen with red prickly tip, thick yellow greasy coating. Pulse: Slippery and rapid.

5. Empty-Wind Agitating in the Interior
Clinical manifestations: Mild, persistent twitching of limbs or face, deep exhaustion and listlessness, night sweats and malar flush, dry mouth and throat, dizziness and blurred vision.
Tongue: Crimson, thin, dry, cracked, little or no coating, may tremble. Pulse: Fine, rapid, may be wiry at left Guan but lacks force.
Treatment principle: Nourish Yin and Blood, extinguish Wind, subdue floating Yang.
Note: gentle stimulation only at LR-3 to preserve Yin, moxa avoided (Yin-deficiency Heat pattern). No deck on this site has a standalone Empty-Wind slide distinct from Liver-Yang-rising-from-Yin-deficiency, so no pattern link is given here.
