Food Cures to remove Wind

Internal wind is often generated from the LV Fire and/or LV Qi Stagnation - so foods that harmonize the liver (wood element) would be appropriate. Some of the foods which aid the wood element are found in our tcm dietary therapy article. External wind is divided into either wind-heat or wind-cold. Wind-cold benefits from foods which are warming and open the pores such as ginger, peppermint, basil, spicy peppers, etc. Wind-heat benefits from foods which course wind and lightly cool such as banana, strawberries, mung beans, green onions.
