Brief History:
Relieve Interior Wind is based on the classical Traditional Chinese Medicine formula Zhen Gan Xi Feng Tang, which was developed in the early 20th century by renowned physician Zhang Xichun. He was known for integrating traditional Chinese herbal medicine with more modern medical thinking of his time.
The formula was created to treat conditions described in TCM as “Liver Yang rising generating internal wind,” a pattern associated with symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, tremors, and high blood pressure. It was especially valued for addressing more serious imbalances affecting the nervous system and circulation.
Over time, this formula became widely used in Chinese medicine for managing hypertension, vertigo, and neurological conditions, and it remains a well-known prescription in modern TCM practice. Products like Relieve Interior Wind provide this traditional formula in a convenient tablet form, making it more accessible for everyday use outside of traditional decoctions.
