External Wind refers to an invasion of Wind pathogen from the environment that enters through the skin and exterior channels, producing patterns of surface itching, skin reactivity, and environmental sensitivity presentations at the skin surface. Internal Wind, by contrast, arises from internal organ imbalances (typically Liver Yin deficiency or Liver Yang rising generating Wind) and produces patterns of tremors, neurological signs, and movement disorders. External Wind formula is specifically designed for the External Wind invasion pattern, using Wind-dispersing, exterior-releasing herbs (Jing Jie, Jiang Can, Cang Er Zi) alongside Blood-cooling and Damp-Heat-clearing herbs to address the combined Wind, Blood Heat, and Damp-Heat components of External Wind skin patterns. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine whether your pet's pattern is External or Internal Wind before recommending the appropriate formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does External Wind formula include Blood-cooling herbs alongside Wind-dispersing herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe inclusion of Blood-cooling herbs (Chi Shao, Mu Dan Pi) alongside Wind-dispersing herbs (Jing Jie, Jiang Can, Cang Er Zi) in External Wind reflects the classical Chinese medicine understanding that Wind skin patterns in animals frequently have a Blood Heat component: when External Wind invades the skin channels, it often combines with Heat in the Blood to produce the redness, itching, and surface reactivity that characterize Wind-Heat and Wind-Blood Heat skin presentations. In TCVM, Blood Heat is understood to generate Internal Wind (\"Wind generated from Blood Heat\") that contributes to itching and skin reactivity even in External Wind patterns; cooling the Blood and activating Blood circulation addresses this component, while the Wind-dispersing herbs clear the External Wind invasion. The combined Wind-clearing and Blood-cooling strategy of the External Wind formula addresses both the Wind invasion and the Blood Heat that sustains and intensifies the skin pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-24T08:49:13-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-24T08:49:12-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Allergies","Health_Need_Skin_and_Coat","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Powder","Herb_Type_Teapill","Jing Tang External Wind","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":5055,"price_min":5055,"price_max":17696,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45929226928198,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"E2042C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":6987839733809,"product_id":8486626558022,"position":3,"created_at":"2019-09-11T03:25:04-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T11:45:48-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang External Wind 0.5g Capsules #200 -

External Wind refers to an invasion of Wind pathogen from the environment that enters through the skin and exterior channels, producing patterns of surface itching, skin reactivity, and environmental sensitivity presentations at the skin surface. Internal Wind, by contrast, arises from internal organ imbalances (typically Liver Yin deficiency or Liver Yang rising generating Wind) and produces patterns of tremors, neurological signs, and movement disorders. External Wind formula is specifically designed for the External Wind invasion pattern, using Wind-dispersing, exterior-releasing herbs (Jing Jie, Jiang Can, Cang Er Zi) alongside Blood-cooling and Damp-Heat-clearing herbs to address the combined Wind, Blood Heat, and Damp-Heat components of External Wind skin patterns. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine whether your pet's pattern is External or Internal Wind before recommending the appropriate formula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWhy does External Wind formula include Blood-cooling herbs alongside Wind-dispersing herbs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe inclusion of Blood-cooling herbs (Chi Shao, Mu Dan Pi) alongside Wind-dispersing herbs (Jing Jie, Jiang Can, Cang Er Zi) in External Wind reflects the classical Chinese medicine understanding that Wind skin patterns in animals frequently have a Blood Heat component: when External Wind invades the skin channels, it often combines with Heat in the Blood to produce the redness, itching, and surface reactivity that characterize Wind-Heat and Wind-Blood Heat skin presentations. In TCVM, Blood Heat is understood to generate Internal Wind (\"Wind generated from Blood Heat\") that contributes to itching and skin reactivity even in External Wind patterns; cooling the Blood and activating Blood circulation addresses this component, while the Wind-dispersing herbs clear the External Wind invasion. The combined Wind-clearing and Blood-cooling strategy of the External Wind formula addresses both the Wind invasion and the Blood Heat that sustains and intensifies the skin pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
