[Identification Processing]
The key points of this syndrome differentiation are blood deficiency and mechanism of disease changes. syndrome/pattern of blood deficiency and wind-dryness is often caused by excessive loss of blood, internal semen and blood loss due to long-term illness, aging and lack of semen and blood, or static blood internal blockage and lack of new blood, resulting in insufficient nutrient-blood and skin problems.
