Causes of cold and dampness
Dampness and coldness are mostly caused by spleen deficiency. If the air outside the body is wet and cold, it will lead to spleen deficiency and wet and cold syndrome, and the evil of wet and cold will appear in the human body.
1, the evil of cold and dampness remains in meridian joints, so it is advisable to use drugs to dispel wind, remove dampness and dredge collaterals. Chinese medicine rattan has this effect; It is also necessary to choose different Chinese medicines according to the different upper and lower limbs of the body. For example, Notopterygium incisum is generally used for upper limbs, while angelica pubescens is mostly used for lower limbs.
2, the evil of cold and dampness stays in the viscera, and it is necessary to choose dampness-removing or dampness-drying drugs that enter the viscera. Such as Pogostemon Fragrans, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Cortex Magnolia Officinalis, etc.
3, the evil of cold and dampness depends on the specific cause of cold and dampness. Cold and dampness are external dampness and internal dampness, and external dampness is mostly caused by external evil and six yin cold and dampness; Internal dampness is mostly caused by yang deficiency of viscera, especially spleen and kidney. External dampness should eliminate evil, while internal dampness should warm and tonify the yang of viscera.
To solve the evil of dampness and cold, it is necessary to eliminate dampness and warm the middle warmer. Don't eat cold food in the diet, so as not to hurt the spleen and aggravate the dampness and coldness. Boil porridge with 50 grams of yam, 250 grams of coix seed and 30 grams of poria cocos, and take it at 9: 00 in the morning, which can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, eliminate dampness and strengthen yang. Insisting on taking it can make the evil of dampness and cold disappear in the body. [2]

Analysis of cold-dampness syndrome
Why does cold weight cause it? Fire? And then what? As mentioned above, the direct consequence of severe cold in the body is kidney injury, which leads to kidney yang deficiency and kidney qi deficiency, leading to organ function decline and blood deficiency. Kidney belongs to water in the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine. Water irrigates and moistens the whole body. When the water in the human body is insufficient, just like the water in the earth, the body will dry. The same is true of organs. Every organ needs work and exercise. If this kind of exercise lacks water, it is easy to rub and generate heat. The most typical is the liver, which belongs to wood and needs water most. Once water is lacking, liver dryness and liver fire are very obvious. If the liver is given enough water to keep it moist all the time, it will not be dry and there will be no fire.
And the head and face are also the easiest to get angry. Because the kidney governs the medullary brain, when the kidney yang is insufficient and the kidney qi is insufficient, the medullary sea is empty, and the distal head first appears ischemia, that is? Water shortage? The natural reaction is dry symptoms, such as dry eyes, dry mouth, dry tongue, dry throat and sore throat. In addition, the mouth, throat, nasal cavity and ears are all organs exposed to the air and are more susceptible to bacterial infection. When the blood supply to the neck and head and face decreases, the immune function here will decrease and various discomforts will occur, so the probability of suffering from rhinitis, pharyngitis, periodontitis, tonsillitis and otitis media will increase. Because there is not enough blood supply, it is difficult to cure all kinds of inflammation, and it will recur repeatedly, becoming various chronic diseases that have not healed for a long time, such as chronic rhinitis, chronic pharyngitis, chronic periodontitis and chronic otitis media.
When modern people eat a large number of cold fruits and vegetables by mistake regardless of seasons, when people use air conditioners for a long time in summer, and when ladies try to wear less clothes to show their figure, a large amount of cold and dampness are quietly entering the body, and natural kidney fire is getting less and less, and virtual fire is getting bigger and bigger. Generally, cold medicines for purging fire, clearing fire and reducing fire are used for treatment, so that the cold will increase on the cold, and the deficiency will increase on the deficiency. The more you treat it, the greater the fire will be.
