Shao Yuhao in Fenzhuan “Traditional Chinese Physician Shao Yuhao. Doctor Ah Hao pointed out that the number of cold patients has increased sharply since the beginning of winter. Many people have symptoms of dry cough and dry and itchy nose and throat in the early stage. If not controlled, they may even develop into sinusitis, bronchitis or more serious pneumonia.

2. “Sudden” hoarseness of voice and slight swelling and pain of vocal cords.

3. There is a “sudden” increase in nasal discharge and a strange feeling in the nasal cavity.

4. Although there is no exercise, “sudden” muscle soreness and abnormal fatigue occur.

How does Chinese medicine treat colds? Shao Yuhao explained that it is not regarding relieving coughs, relieving headaches, or clearing up the nose, but the focus is on mobilizing troops to find out the reasons behind the problems so that the immune system can function normally. He said that “hot colds” should focus on clearing away heat; “cold colds” should focus on warmth; “deficiency colds” should choose between tonic and dispelling evil. He also reminded that once there are signs of a cold, do not delay and deal with it as soon as possible.
