The functions of wind-drugs are as follows: to elevate Yang and regulate Qi
to direct herbal actions to the diseased site or meridian
to dispel wind and overcome dampness
and to open Xuanfu( sweat pore). We regard"Neifeng Anxuan( secret whirling of internal wind) "as the main pathological character of tumor. Because of the asthenia of healthy Qi and the sthenia of pathogenic Qi as well as the imbalance of Qi
blood
Yin and Yang
the Qi movement of the tumor patients get disturbed
which induces the formation of internal wind. The internal wind
easily combined with the pathogenic accumulations and gatherings
could run through the Zang
Fu
meridians and collaterals all over the body together with the phlegm
the toxin and the stasis. Finally
these factors"detain and not leave"
and result in diseases. We propose that
in the treatment of tumor
the wind-drugs could regulate Qi movement and strengthen body resistance and direct herbal actions to the diseased site. We could also perform syndrome differentiation aimed at the sthenia of pathogenic Qi. Through all these
we could have more ideas for treating cancer in clinic.
