Wind
Wind is one of six climatic pathogenic factors (ie. a quality in the environment
or climate which can cause disease) It is the predominant climatic factor
in spring, but can also be a cause of disease in other seasons as well.
The nature of Wind is yang and is a major factor involved in pathogens
entering the body. Wind's nature is to rise and disperse and so its symptoms
are more likely to manifest in the upper or superficial parts of the body,
ie head, face or skin. Wind invasion symptoms can be dizziness, vertigo,
itchy skin, common cold, tremors and spasms.
