Therefore, those who treat wind should not have troubles without having to drive them away. But there is no way to control it; if you are not afraid of the wind, it will not go away, but if you are afraid of the wind coming back, why? Because the sweat pore is not closed, the ignorant do not know how to fix the wind, so they have tried many medicines to drive it away. In other words, what goes away will go away, what comes comes, pathogenic qi lingers, and there is no end to it. Saposhnikovia Root spreads all over the body, and is called the elixir for treating wind. It is a moisturizing agent in wind medicine. It is the only one used to treat wind.
