What is a COMMON COLD (Gan Mao) in Chinese Medicine?
Cold is an exogenous ailment caused by wind and seasonal pathogens. It occurs in any season, esp. in spring and winter, manifested by nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, headache, sneezing, aversion to wind and cold, fever and general pain or malaise.
What is a COUGH (KE SOU) in Chinese Medicine?
Cough is one of the major symptoms of the lungs. Ke in Chinese means loud cough without sputum, while sou feeble one with sputum, which are not clearly distinguished. Diseases having cough as the chief symptom are classified into two types: one due to exogenous factors, the other endogenous factors. The pathogenic factors affect the lung and prevent it from its function of dispersing and descending.

What is SUNSTROKE (ZHONG SHU) in Chinese Medicine?
Sunstroke is an acute febrile disease due to exopathy occurring in midsummer, manifested by dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting or even by collapse and loss of consciousness, and characterized by sudden onset, rapid progress and without sequel. Sunstroke is caused by summer heat evils, heat stagnation and reversed flow of qi leading to the obstruction of functional activities of qi and the blockage of the seven orifices.
*It is advisable to clear away summer heat and cause resuscitation by relieving mental stress, which can be assisted by regulating the Middle Jiao and resolving dampness.

What is ASTHMA (XIAO CHUAN) in Chinese Medicine?
Asthma with wheezing is a morbid condition marked by paroxysmal rale and shortness of breath, featuring shortness and difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and even inability to keep horizontal position. Asthma is a common disease characterized by repeated attacks of paroxysmal dyspnea, open mouth, lifted shoulder, nares flaring and failure in staying horizontally due to breathing difficulty.

ii. Deficiency of SP and LU + BL20, ST36
What is LOSS OF VOICE (SHI YIN) in Chinese Medicine?
Loss of Voice refers to a hoarse voice and then loss of voice. It can be brought about by four factors: invasion of exogenous pathogenic evils, emotional stimulation, damage of the vocal cords and injury of fluid by dryness of the lung. These pathogenic factors are generally divided into excess and deficiency types.
Loss of Voice caused by exogenous or emotional stimulation is known as
‘Jin Shi Bu Ming’ (a solid bell can not ring), and it should be treated with the method of dispelling wind, removing heat, and detoxifying so as to soothe the throat.
Loss of Voice due to chronic diseases with Yin deficiency or damaged vocal cords is called
‘Jin Po Bu Ming’ (a broken bell does not sound), and it should be treated with the method of nourishing Yin, moistening dryness and clearing away heat. Chronic cases usually belong to deficient syndromes.
Disperse LU Qi and relieve sore throat Manifestations: i. Acute onset, hoarse voice, sore throat, aversion to wind ii. Tongue: thin, white coat iii. Pulse: superficial

ii. Restlessness and insomnia + HT7
What is SWEATING (HAN ZHENG) in Chinese Medicine?
Spontaneous perspiration and night sweating belong to abnormal discharge of sweat due to imbalance of yin and yang or lowered superficial resistance. The former refers to perspiration while awake and aggravation on slight exertion; whereas the latter denotes sweating while asleep and spontaneous stop post sleep. Either is a relatively independent syndrome and one of certain stage of other diseases as well. They are commonly seen in clinic.
