What does Chinese medicine mean when it says, "Cold is the key to all diseases"?

All diseases are not away from the cold, is a pseudo-proposition, but the wind and cold, summer and humidity, dry fire, why the only cold has become the source of all diseases, the piece of

The words of the face are misleading.

This is only the view of the warm-heat school, which says that cold is an important factor in causing illness. But in fact, wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness, fire, phlegm, stasis can cause disease, especially in recent years, the new coronavirus disease, the nature of the disease is mainly dampness, phlegm.

is undermining the contradictory relativism of things in TCM thinking.

Cold is the main qi of winter. In the lower temperature or temperature drop, the human body is not well protected is easy to feel the cold. Its main feature is the cold (external, table solution that is removed) or fear of cold (Yang deficiency, warm and solution), the limbs to collect and attract the stagnation of qi and blood, so the invasion of the human body, can lead to qi and blood is not fluent, and the emergence of pain and spasms and other evidence. Cold has the difference between external and internal cold, but also often with its evil concomitant, such as wind cold, cold and dampness. Sometimes the cold evil into the inside can also be transformed into heat.

External cold is cold injury to the muscles and tissues, Yang Qi can not reach the outside and the emergence of malignant cold, fever, headache, body pain, pain in the joints, coughing and wheezing, thin white fur on the tongue, the pulse floating tight and other evidence. If the cold evil injures the surface of the muscle, then it will have bad cold and fever; if it injures the meridians and tendons, then it will have joint pain; if it injures the stomach and intestines, then it will have abdominal pain and vomiting and diarrhea.

Internal cold is a weakness of yang qi, cold from within and appear pale, cold hands and feet, fear of cold and like warmth, tongue fat pale, moss white slippery, pulse sinking weak and so on. Insufficient heart yang is blue and purple lips, heart and chest stifling or even colic; spleen yang is damaged in the epigastric cold pain, less food and loose stools, diarrhea will occur when eating cold food; kidney yang is insufficient in the waist and spine cold, frequent urination, impotence, or the woman's belt down the spaghetti; lung qi (yang) insufficient in the gas, self-sweating, coughing, phlegm and saliva sparseness; cold stagnation of the liver pulse is cold hernia, less abdominal or testicular cramping pain.

From the nature of the cold, cold for the yin evil, most likely to hurt the yang qi, resulting in the loss of yang qi and yang can not cure yin, the loss of body warmth, promote, gasification and other effects of the decline in cold symptoms, that is, the body's functions of the pathology of the decline in the cold will lead to physical weakness.

Cold is more difficult to prevent, and even pervasive. From the cold parts, whether the skin, muscles, meridians, tendons and bones and even organs are vulnerable to cold, cold disease in the body everywhere. From the onset of the season, although the cold for the disease in winter, but other seasons due to wading in the rain or sweat by the wind may also feel the cold.

Whether from the pathway and cause of the onset, the onset of the season, the nature of the disease, the role of the site, cold for the disease in the human body have a certain universality, cold is also the cause of physical decline, triggering a variety of important factors of the disease, such as cold injuries to the spleen and stomach are transported without the right to the loss of moistening of the body; cold injury to the kidneys and yang, the fate of the body loss of warmth and fire failure. Therefore, it is believed that "all diseases are not free from cold".

The Vulcan school's "Yang is often insufficient, but Yin is in excess." That's what it's all about.

The normal body temperature of modern man has been lowered

If there's cold, there's a lack of yang. There's stasis and stagnation.
