Hello, I'm Dr. Pan. Today I will talk to you about the three common manifestations of cold evil: lung cold, spleen cold and kidney cold, and how to distinguish their characteristics, and at the same time teach you a trick to drive away cold and protect yang qi.
First of all, lung cold is manifested as a lot of mucus, because the lungs are open to the nose, and when the lung qi is insufficient, it can lead to symptoms such as runny nose and nasal congestion. As an organ outside the main guard, the lungs will weaken their resistance due to lack of qi, and they are prone to colds, colds, coughs, flu, etc. Such people usually feel weak and lack of vitality, and need to pay attention to the lungs and dissipate cold.
Secondly, the cold spleen is manifested by a lot of saliva. The spleen mainly transports water and dampness, and saliva is also a subtle part of the water valley in the body. When the spleen and stomach are weak and unable to fix the water, saliva will flow out unconsciously, especially at night. Such people are usually afraid of cold, have a cold lower abdomen, dare not eat cold food, and are prone to diarrhea. For this situation, it is necessary to warm and replenish the spleen and yang, and you can refer to the Four Gentlemen's Tang plus and minus conditioning.
Finally, kidney cold manifests as excessive urine. Kidney Yang is the foundation of Yang Qi throughout the body, which can be transpiran, vaporized, filtered and utilized by lung water to form urine. However, when kidney qi is weak, lung water cannot be transpired and utilized normally, resulting in symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the warmth and replenishment of kidney yang, and you can refer to the addition and subtraction of kidney tonifying and benefiting yang decoction.
It should be reminded that TCM treatment pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, so if you are unwell, you should seek medical attention in time and do not blindly use medicine.
