P’a leng (wind illness)- China, Southeast Asia- "The individual is afraid of the cold, specifically the wind, fearing it will steal their yang energy and kill them. The individual goes out of his way to stay warm. The individual will huddle under blankets, consume food thought to boost yang energy, and try to stay out of the wind. Khyol is a similar illness in Thailand, but it thought to result from an imbalance of four elements."

P'a leng, Chinese wind illness, or frigophobia is a mental illness that takes place primarily in southeast Asia. The people of this region believe that the wind will steal their soul and imbalance their ying and yang which, in return, will lead to death. They will continuously wear long sleeve shirts and jackets, long pants, head gear, and neck gear to protect themselves from the wind. This, during the summer can be damaging and dangerous.
