The treatment method should mainly focus on the use of Xin Liang to relieve external symptoms. Wind or heat are both six types of lust, often invading the human body through fur, mouth, and nose. The evil qi of wind and heat invades the muscle surface of the human body from the fur, causing the nature of the wind to release. Heat leads to shortness of breath and accelerated blood flow, while the lungs control the fur and affect the main qi function of the lungs through the fur, causing the lungs to lose their gentle qi and resulting in symptoms such as shortness of breath and rough breathing.
