A method of treatment used to address deviated eyes and mouth, stiff tongue and impeded speech as in wind stroke, and child fright wind, using wind-dispelling and phlegm-forming medicinals such as typhonium (Typhonii Rhizoma, 白附子bái fù zǐ), silkworm (Bombyx Batryticatus, 白僵蚕bái jiāng cán), bamboo sugar (Bambusae Concretio Silicea, 天竹黄tiān zhú huáng), and bile arisaema (Arisaema cum Bile, 胆星dǎn xīng), which are often combined with wind-extinguishing medicinals such as scorpion (Scorpio, 全蝎quán xiē), and centipede (Scolopendra, 蜈蚣wú gōng), and, if necessary, with heat-clearing orifice-opening medicinals.
A representative formula is Pull Aright Powder (牵正散qiān zhèng sǎn).
