Winter illnesses are treated in summer, which is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment based on the theory of “Heaven corresponds to man” and the principle of “spring and summer nourish the yang”, and diseases that are prone to attack or aggravate in the cold winter climate (such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, rhinitis, recurrent respiratory infections, immune deficiency, chronic rheumatism, arthritis, chronic diarrhea, frostbite, allergic diseases, etc.). Chronic rheumatism, arthritis, chronic diarrhea, frostbite, allergic diseases, etc.) should be treated in the summer when the climate is hot and the diseases are in remission, in order to prevent and reduce the attacks of diseases in winter.

According to the theory of Chinese medicine, nature is the environment on which human beings live, and human beings are closely related to nature. The movement and changes of nature affect the human body all the time, and the human body reflects the corresponding physiological and pathological changes. The human body also reflects the corresponding physiological and pathological changes. In nature, there are changes in spring, summer, summer, autumn, and winter, and the human body has to “nourish Yang in spring and summer, and nourish Yin in autumn and winter” (Su Wen – The Great Treatise on the Regulation of the Four Energies). Modern time medicine and meteorological medicine also have this aspect. The pathogenesis of winter diseases such as coughing and sneezing when it is cold, abdominal pain and diarrhea when it is cold, and back, shoulder and leg pain and difficulty in moving when it is cold, is closely related to the weakness of the patient’s yang energy, especially the spleen’s yang energy, which weakens the ability to transport water and grain, causing phlegm and dampness to stay in the body and water and drink to move inside. The cold weather in winter makes the yang energy of the body relatively insufficient, so it is easy to develop the disease in winter. In summer, when the weather is hot, the yang energy of the body is correspondingly strong, and the function of the spleen is at its peak in the long summer, so phlegm and water drinks can be easily eliminated, so the disease can be easily relieved or eliminated. Because the three volt days are the hottest days of the year, the time when the body’s yang energy is the most vigorous and the spleen is the master of the order, it is the best time to treat winter diseases in summer. This is the best time to take medicine internally, apply it externally, fumigate, moxibustion, food and other appropriate methods to support Yang Qi, so that the Yang Qi of nature, the body’s own Yang Qi and the performance of drugs work together to correct the weak state of Yang Qi and eliminate the phlegm, dampness, water and drink that remain in the body, thus achieving the purpose of disease prevention and treatment.
