Why “winter diseases” should be “summer treatment”

  ”Winter disease is one of the special medical treatments in Chinese medicine, which originates from the theory of “spring and summer nourish the yang” and the treatment principle of “treating the symptoms when it is urgent and treating the root cause when it is slow”. “Winter diseases” refers to chronic bronchitis, asthma, peptic ulcer, chronic gastroenteritis, frostbite and other diseases that occur in winter. The main reason why they tend to flare up in winter is because of the lack of yang energy in the body and the decrease in resistance, which causes recurrent attacks. Based on the treatment theory of “spring and summer nourish Yang” in Chinese medicine, winter diseases are treated in summer. Summer treatment is the use of high summer temperatures in the three volcanoes, or the summer to autumn stage, the use of a variety of Chinese medicine treatment methods to achieve the purpose of strengthening the root, so as to adjust the balance of the body’s yin and Yang, increase the body’s ability to resist disease, to reduce the onset or recurrence of certain diseases in winter, or even no longer onset of the purpose.
