Active treatment for colds

  The people have a misconception that the cold is a minor illness, just take some cold medicine. In fact, this is not the case. Cold is the initial stage of the disease, most of the diseases, are induced by the cold, if early failure to treat, later evil will gradually deepen into a variety of difficult to treat diseases.  Chinese medicine considers the common cold to be the result of feeling the wind evil. And this wind evil is very scary. It is said in ancient texts that “wind is the longest of all diseases” and “wind is good at moving and changing several times”. Translated, it means that a cold can lead to many diseases, and the symptoms of diseases caused by wind evil change very quickly. An experienced doctor can get rid of the wind evil at the stage when it first touches the body and invades the surface, using pungent and warm methods for wind-cold and pungent and cool methods for wind-heat. If the early stage is not treated in time, or if the disease changes quickly, and the wind evil enters the body internally, an experienced doctor, based on the patient’s symptoms and tongue and pulse, can determine where the evil enters the body and the stage of evolution, and still has the ability to dispel it, at this time, firstly, to cut off the way of the evil, and secondly, to give the evil a way out. Using this principle, a general cold can be cured.  Is it possible to cure every cold? Is there a case where a cold is never cured? Yes, there are. There was a doctor named Lei Feng in the Qing Dynasty, who wrote a book called “Treatise on Seasonal Diseases”. The main idea is that the vapors cause diseases, which means that the external evil is latent in the body, and the disease will come on in another season or at another time. Clinically, I have seen many patients who complain of problems other than colds, such as discomfort in any part of the body or various strange symptoms, but when I feel the pulse, I still feel that the evil qi from the cold has not been eliminated, and these patients will be cured by the treatment of relieving the symptoms and penetrating the evil qi.  As a patient, for each cold, we should pay attention to it strategically, pay attention to its pathogenesis, actively seek treatment, do not take it lightly because it is a small disease, delaying treatment and making a big mistake, and do not ignore it because there is still a little bit of small problems after the cold, and for the various strange discomfort symptoms that occur in the body, we should consider more whether there is a history of cold before the onset of the disease, so as to provide the doctor with the necessary reference information. To provide the doctor with the necessary reference information.
