Understanding the above, the treatment of cold in Chinese medicine is to identify the two signs of yin and yang, and the best prescription is to identify the six meridians. If the evil is in the three yang divisions, it will be manifested as symptoms of yang division such as fever, thirst, cold drinks, dry stools, yellow and red urine, tinnitus, hot and cold exchanges, bitter mouth, dizziness, etc.; if the evil is in the three yin divisions, it will be manifested as symptoms of yin division such as loose stools, clear and long urine, runny nose, weak cough, and fear of cold. According to the different levels, treatment with the scriptures can be effective in one or two doses. However, the common cold in general is mostly a simple external cold. In this case, the disease is in the Sun meridian, and the sage of medicine Zhang Zhongjing had a clear instruction early on that sweating and relieving the symptoms would be sufficient. Why? The Sun is the giant Yang, the place where Yang energy is strong, and its function is to protect our organism from external evil. That is to say, only when the Yang energy of the Sun is insufficient, the evil Qi will thus invade. Therefore, to treat the Sun, Yang should be the method and the goal. So treat cold and flu with more pungent and warm dispersing medicine, and less or no cold medicine, otherwise it’s just adding insult to injury! If you use antibiotics or cold medicine like Shuang Huang Lian to treat a cold, it will only get worse. Although the advertisements say every day that Shuanghuanglian is good for colds, it is cheating your money, and you still believe in it, either foolish or not long brain. The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing’s “Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases” is a classic for treating all miscellaneous and difficult diseases, and certainly for treating colds. With this book to cure the cold, according to my clinical observation for many years, is often a pair of drugs on a good, that is, a day to cure the cold is not difficult. That’s all, those who don’t know think it’s amazing, those who know think it’s nothing. This is the wisdom of the Chinese ancients, but unfortunately the world’s Chinese doctors refused to properly in the diamond classics, or hold on to one or two so-called ancestral secret recipes to mix life, or head to the camp of Western medicine to grab a soup with three elements (antibiotics, vitamins, hormones, plus a glucose), with the good and not to mention, at least mixed a lot of black money, but also mixed a decent doctor look. Moreover, the biggest characteristic of such people is that they once learned Chinese medicine, but they think that Chinese medicine can’t cure the disease, think that Chinese medicine will not cure the disease. They talk about themselves and talk so much that they mislead a lot of people who believe in Chinese medicine. The result is that Chinese medicine became extinct in their hands, and they became the tomb of Chinese medicine pouters. A cold is a sun disease, and there are two main recipes for that sun disease: one is Gui Zhi Tang and the other is Ma Huang Tang. One is for typhoid, the other is for typhoid. Typhoid fever has sweat when the right qi is dispersed; typhoid fever has no sweat when the evil qi is restrained. Typhoid wind has a soft body, while typhoid cold has a heavy body. The common feature of both is: strong head and neck pain and evil cold. The two are the same: the head is strong and painful, and the body is heavy. Chairman Mao thus said, “Chinese medicine is good.” Nowadays, the treatment of colds is to go to the hospital to hang water. I do not know that one is not inflammatory cold at all, where there is no bacterial infection! Secondly, the abuse of antibiotics to reduce fever actually destroys the body’s yang energy, leading to the entry of evil into the yin part. Although the surface symptoms temporarily disappear, more serious symptoms of internal organ malfunction are bound to appear soon. Patients with rhinitis, myocarditis, and nephritis due to common colds are often found in the clinic, all caused by mistreatment that leads the evil qi to the three yin levels. If the evil Qi enters the heart meridian of the hand Shao Yin, acute myocarditis will appear, and if it enters the kidney meridian of the foot Shao Yin, acute nephritis will appear, which is still caused by external evil entering the Shao Yin level. From this reasoning, cold and fever should not use any cold medicine. Fever is the normal anti-disease response of the body to resist the cold evil and try to make it dissipate. In fact, a simple treatment with acupuncture can quickly reduce the fever, far better than any antibiotics. If cold medicines are abused, the yang energy of the body is damaged and yang energy is incapable of dispelling the evil, then the evil enters the three yin from the yang part of the body and the symptoms disappear. But the evil thus lurks in the three yin, and sooner or later will produce a major disease out. This situation is more common nowadays, and it is one of the reasons why many people have major illnesses and serious diseases. In the current society, people’s body constitution is more cold, and the external evil is mostly wind-cold, therefore, those who are prone to catch a cold mostly belong to the type of Yang deficiency, so they should help Yang to dispel the evil, and try not to use cold and symptomatic medicines. This kind of patients rarely have fever, but fear of cold is very obvious, at this time if the abuse of antibiotics, it will greatly harm the body’s Yang Qi, leading to evil deep into the body, and even cause Yang off sudden death. The media often reports that a patient died suddenly because of a cold hanging water, that is because the heart and kidney two meridians by the cold drug a stimulation, resulting in a sudden Yang off and caused. Are there any more such things around you and me? Some people don’t seem to care about their health and swallow a lot of Chinese and Western medicines when they see a cold, not knowing that this kind of medicine will only harm Yang Qi and will not help to cure the disease at all. Some people believe in advertising, see the fever that a lot of cold medicine, drink herbal tea, said to be cold to heat, the result of eating more and more fever, that means your body still Yang Qi in the fight, if you eat not fever, you think it is a happy thing, but I think it is a sad and lamentable thing. Here is a list of common anti-cold western medicine on the market, such as fast gram, cold a grain of Ling, paracetamol, Chen Gong Zexin (compound zinc cloth granules), pediatric quick-acting cold punch, white plus black, cold pass, quick-acting cold capsule, etc.. All these drugs have certain toxic side effects and should not be abused. There are more than a hundred kinds of cold virus, no western medicine can be completely anti-viral, but its side effects are huge, the loss is not worth the gain. A lot of clinical data shows that improper use can result in a large number of toxic side effects: such as headache and dizziness, blurred vision, gastrointestinal bleeding, dehydration, drop in blood pressure, transient hematuria, hyperactivity, depression, insomnia, hallucinatory coma, convulsions, and even life-threatening. It has also been reported that fast-acting typhoid capsules are an important factor in fetal teratogenesis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued an announcement that many of the combination drugs used to treat coughs and colds contain dextromethorphan, an ingredient that can be life-threatening when taken in excess. And currently, patients can buy Tylenol, Day & Night Benadryl and White Plus Black tablets everywhere in pharmacies contain this ingredient. Western medicine for colds and flu, and thus the side costs are too expensive, why do not the Chinese use Chinese medicine? Even as in Chinese medicine, the application of cold and flu medicines is prohibited. For example, such as VC silver forsythia tablets, compound dacryophyllum tablets, cold spirit punch, cold and flu clear, kangbid, etc., are all combined with Chinese and Western medicines. In addition, there are some bitter cold Chinese medicines such as: Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Qinghelian Oral Liquid, Compound Daxingye Combination, Yinhuang Oral Liquid (containing chemical tablets), Compound Ichthyophonous Herb Tablets, Gogo Wang Tablets, Bitter Gan Punch, Qingkailing Granules, Banlangen Granules, Monkey Earring Anti-inflammatory Capsules, etc., all are a school of bitter cold products that hurt Yang, do not mishear the words of advertising and abuse. If you must use proprietary Chinese medicine, it is best to look at the drug composition on the outer packaging. If there is a pungent warm drug, it is okay, if a school of cold, it is a deceptive thing, must not be served. No matter what kind of external sensation, due to cold, due to heat, there must be warm medicine only, otherwise it is ineffective and harmful. And a few words about pediatric colds. Children’s vital energy is generally sufficient, and it is easy to get a high fever when you have a cold, because the child’s vital energy is trying to drive away the wind and cold evil that has invaded the muscle surface. If you take cold medicines like Banlangen indiscriminately, or go to the hospital to hang water, you are harming your child’s vital energy while drawing the evil Qi in. As parents, they want their children to be healthy, but they make this very stupid behavior! Children with colds can use some pediatric tuina to clear the lung meridian, liver meridian and tianheshui, and to tonic the heart meridian and spleen meridian, which can achieve very obvious results. Or find a good Chinese doctor, take a pungent and warm type of Chinese medicine, or zap acupuncture, often in a day. However, children who used to abuse hanging water often do not get well easily after catching a cold because there is too much evil energy in their bodies, and they need to support the righteous energy and drain it out again and again. The process of discharging the evil Qi is also the process of the child’s health. You can observe that after the evil qi is expelled, the child’s face is rosy, his hands and feet are not cold, his appetite has increased, he sleeps more soundly, and he is more energetic. This is a sign that the child’s vital energy has been restored. As a parent, think about it seriously. After going to the hospital to hang water does the child appear the opposite performance? In fact, compared to the price of hanging water, Chinese herbal medicine is easy and inexpensive to treat colds, which is the real right way to treat colds. Therefore, cold is caused by cold in the body, and fever is the reaction of positive qi against disease. The treatment of cold should help the right qi, dispel the cold evil, when the use of pungent warm medicine, should not help cold to reduce fever with bitter cold medicine. The use of cold medicine to reduce fever will lead the evil deep, is self-destructive.
