What is winter disease and summer treatment? “Winter disease” refers to certain diseases that occur in winter or are aggravated in winter, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatic and rheumatoid arthritis, cold fear in the elderly, as well as stomach disease, dysmenorrhea and other such diseases. “Summer treatment” refers to the summer season when these conditions are in remission, so during the season of remission, treatment can be applied to prevent the recurrence of old diseases or reduce their symptoms in winter by applying compresses, acupuncture, fire cupping and Chinese herbal medication. “Winter disease summer treatment” is a treatment method for cold diseases that often occur in winter, using the favorable opportunity of high summer temperatures and abundant Yang energy in the body to treat directly or indirectly, in order to adjust the balance of Yin and Yang in the human body, so that some chronic diseases can be restored. What is the origin of the theory of “treating winter diseases in summer”? The “Nei Jing, Four Times of Tuning the Gods” says: “Therefore, the sage likes to nourish Yang in summer, and nourish Yin in autumn and winter, in order to get rid of its root.” In summer, the natural yang energy is at its peak, and due to the correspondence between heaven and man, people are inducted by the natural yang energy, and with the appropriate medication, the deficient yang energy is replenished. If the yang energy is sufficient to achieve a harmonious state of yin and yang, then on the one hand, we can defend ourselves against evil, and on the other hand, we can drive the evil out of our body, thus eliminating the disease, i.e. “if the righteousness exists within, the evil cannot dry up”. The origin of the external treatment of winter and summer diseases is much earlier than the internal treatment method, of which the most used is the compress method. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine records: “Cinnamon heart sizzling wine to iron cold paralysis, white wine and cinnamon to apply the wind in the blood. That is, the use of poultices for external application began. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Biography of Fang Qiu, recorded that “the application of the sacred ointment, four or five days to heal, all within a day to calm down.” The “Theory of parallelism” summarizes the external treatment methods before the Qing Dynasty in China, and proposes more than a hundred kinds of external treatment methods such as paste, coating, washing and ironing. According to Chinese medicine, the external cause of disease is only one aspect, but more important is the state of the human physique. People who are prone to cold invasion often have insufficient yang energy in their bodies, so it is said that winter diseases are mostly caused by cold invasion as an external cause and the patient’s physique’s insufficient yang energy as an internal cause. In the cold season, the patient’s yang energy is at a low ebb, and the ability to accept external treatment is also at a poor period, so winter diseases are treated slowly when they occur in winter, while in summer, as the temperature rises, the yang energy in the human body rises and the meridians are open, so the preventive treatment measures for replenishing yang energy at this time can promote the return to normalcy of the yang deficiency susceptible to external cold, so that it is easy to resist external cold in the cold season without or with less disease. Winter illness and summer treatment is an effective method used for treatment under the guidance of the theory of Chinese medicine, in which the three volt days are the most traditional, unique and effective treatment in Chinese medicine, through the three volt days can prevent the occurrence of winter diseases. The three volt days are calculated according to the A-Zi method of the day, i.e. the third G day after the summer solstice is the first volt (also called the first volt). The fourth G day after the summer solstice is the mid-volts, and the first G day after the autumn is the last volt. In the medical books, the day of the volcano must be geng, geng is gold, and lung match, suitable for people who often suffer from lung disease treatment in winter. According to the principle of the day, the three volt days is the most vigorous time of the year, the three volt days is a good time to make up for the Yang, is the time medicine in Chinese medicine, three volt days paste medicine is a kind of treatment of winter diseases the best period, often receive twice the result with half the effort. First of all, let’s look at why some diseases may flare up or worsen in winter and ease in summer. Some people are very afraid of cold and have cold hands and feet from winter to winter, which is a typical manifestation of Yang deficiency, so using summer to supplement Yang energy can achieve twice the effect with half the effort.

The most common types of diseases in the outpatient clinic. In summer, it is most effective for people with Yang deficiency to replenish Yang, which can achieve twice the effect with half the effort. The reason why “winter and summer treatment” has lasted for thousands of years, in addition to the practical proof and theoretical basis, modern medicine has also done a lot of research in this area, and it is agreed that “winter and summer treatment” can significantly improve the functional state of the human body, improve immunity and enhance resistance to disease.
