A common cold will cause a fever and a rise in body temperature, but how come there is no discussion of a rise in temperature in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" of Chinese medicine?

A common cold will cause a fever and a rise in body temperature, but how come there is no discussion of a rise in temperature in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" of Chinese medicine?

Why not? The opening of the sun disease, fever sweating bad wind cinnamon stick evidence, face red body itching hemp cinnamon each half evidence; shaoyang disease of cold and heat exchanges; yangming disease fever and thirst, visceral solid evidence of evaporation evaporation heat. All of them deal with fever. The symptoms in Zhongjing's book are the patient's feelings, which are different from the physical signs. Cold and flu appear six meridian disease will have fever discourse, because the whole book is talking about the evil and positive decline, positive gas is hot, positive gas is cold.

This brother doesn't know if he has read Typhoid Fever.

The word fever is found throughout the Typhoid Fever Treatise, and it divides fever into two classes, fever and burning fever, and more than a thousand years later Western medicine also divides fever into low and high fever.

Of course you say a fever is not a fever and I have nothing to say about that.

Not only that, the book "Typhoid Fever" has many other formulas for fever, such as Gui Zhi Tang Ephedra Tang Xiao Chai Hu Tang, etc. For patients with fever, reducing fever with herbs is simply a treat.

This highlights the profundity of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is divided into wind-cold and wind-heat two main cold, wind-heat cold main symptoms of fever and sweat, wind-cold cold main symptoms of cold (cold) sweat, which is the body's natural objective perception, for the identification of treatment provides a hundred times more accurate than the machine's objective conditions. On the contrary, Western medicine because they can not figure out the cause of cold and fever, stupid superstitious thermometer measurement data, in the wind cold and wind heat cause and not divided, with chemical poisons indiscriminately treat a gas, a small disease into a big disease, the original face of its pseudoscience is exposed.






In response to your question you can first look at the above screenshots, first of all, cold is the name of the disease in Chinese medicine, and secondly, look at the "Typhoid Fever" in the typhoid fever is what it means, "Suwen - heat theory" has a very clear definition: "today's fever, all typhoid fever and so on." This statement is rather broad. There is a clear statement in the "Nanking - Fifty-eight Nanking": "There are five types of typhoid: stroke, typhoid fever, dampness and warmth, fever, and warmth". The first typhoid is, of course, the generalized typhoid, that is, the typhoid of the "Suwen - Treatise on Fever"; the latter typhoid is the sub-definition of typhoid, and the typhoid in the title of the book, of course, refers to the first sense of typhoid, which is not to be confused. Zhang Zhongjing did not emphasize cold; he also talked about dampness and temperature, fever and warmth.

You are putting the concepts of TCM and the symptoms of Western medicine together and saying that TCM doesn't work, which is unfair.

Say this, you first give Zhang Zhongjing a thermometer before asking questions. The greatness of Chinese medicine lies in the discovery of subtle changes in many diseases through observation in the absence of conditions!

How no, evil wind and cold is the said fever. For one thing, the language is subtle, and Chinese medicine is more concerned about describing the symptoms from the patient's own feelings rather than analyzing them from an outsider's point of view. Chinese medicine is people-oriented.

Have you really read Typhoid?

How does a TCM practitioner know what degree a fever is? By touch? Ha-ha-ha.

Chinese medicine does not call it an elevated temperature, it is called cold and heat!

In the world of Chinese medicine, especially in the text of the Typhoid Fever Treatise Jin Gui Yao Liao, there is only the description of fever and malignant cold, i.e., whether or not the patient feels feverish or whether or not it is accompanied by a fear of cold! Because the ancients did not use temperature thermometers! Chinese medicine is medicine with temperature!
