Clinical Notes This formula is often used to address hypertension when the presentation corresponds with the syndrome pattern. It is NOT appropriate for external wind conditions. Practitioners should keep in mind the basic differences between internal and external wind. Internal wind is a manifestation of liver pathology, and symptoms are primarily related to the muscles/tendons, eyes, and nervous system. External wind arises when the body is invaded by environmental wind, with the simplest case characterized by symptoms of fever with aversion to wind/drafts, sweating, or scratchy throat, coughing, stuffy nose
