Symptoms:
Note:
If Cold attributes are predominant, the pain quality is characterized
by tightness and cramping, a tight pulse, and is relieved by heat.
If Wind is predominant, the pains are characterized by spasms or aching
that wanders and is aggravated by draft and cold. If Dampness is predominant,
the pains are accompanied by fatigue and a heaviness of the limbs,
with pains being more localized than the Wind type. This Pattern
commonly manifests in arthritic-like conditions.
