Introduction
Wind oil essence does not have a time-delaying effect. This is because the primary functions of wind oil essence are to provide a cooling sensation, relieve pain, dispel wind, and relieve itching. It is commonly used to treat mosquito bites, headaches and dizziness caused by colds or influenza, and to alleviate discomfort from motion sickness. There is no clear evidence of any time-delaying effects.

Prior to using any medication, one should thoroughly understand its effects and potential side effects and follow the advice and guidance of a healthcare provider.
