Do you experience headaches, itchy skin, sore joints, and drowsiness in the spring?  In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), these are symptoms of the emergence of “Kaze,” or “wind evil.”
In TCM, there are six evil spirits related to illness in humans—wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire. Among them, wind evil is “the origin of all diseases” and is nicknamed the “big brother of the disease kingdom.” It is said to lead to the incidence of most other diseases and can crop up all year round.
