Wriggling of limbs [Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology Approval Committee. Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology (2004)] 3 Notes
Wriggling of limbs is the name of the symptom [ 1]. See "Distinguishing Treatises on Febrile Diseases·Resolving Children's Difficulties". Refers to slow, weak, small amplitude and weak tetany of the hands and feet [1][2]?. It belongs to the internal movement of deficiency wind, which is a sign of loss of true yin, water not containing wood, and internal movement of liver wind [1].
See "deficiency wind internal movement": "deficiency wind internal movement" refers to the wind syndrome caused by yin deficiency and blood deficiency[3]. It is more common in people with profuse sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss or long-term illness that damages yin. It is caused by loss of body fluids, less fluid and dry blood, blood does not nourish the tendons, insufficient liver yin, yin does not subdue yang, and liver wind flows inward; it can also be caused by liver wind. Due to insufficient kidney yin, liver and kidney deficiency, kidney water cannot nourish liver wood, causing liver wind to rise. Clinical manifestations include dizziness, tremor, trembling of hands and feet, or coma [3]. Treatment should be to subdue yang and calm wind, nourish yin and promote fluid production [3].
