The principle is: winter is cloudy and summer is sunny. "Winter disease" refers to some deficiency-cold diseases that are prone to occur or aggravate in winter. Because the human body has always been yang-deficient, coupled with the decline of yin and yang in the external climate in winter, healthy qi can not dispel evil, or feel the evil of yin and cold, leading to some chronic diseases such as chronic cough, asthma, chronic diarrhea, joint cold pain, fear of cold, physical weakness and so on. "Summer treatment" refers to the treatment measures such as warming yang, dispelling cold and expelling evil spirits, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals in the dog days of summer. On the one hand, it can enhance the body's ability to resist diseases and evil spirits, on the other hand, it helps to eliminate diseases and evil spirits caused by yin cold, thus achieving the purpose of treating or preventing the above-mentioned diseases that are prone to occur or aggravate in winter.
Treating winter disease in summer is the concrete application of the holistic view of "harmony between man and nature" and the concept of "prevention before disease" in traditional Chinese medicine. Commonly used treatment methods include acupoint application, acupuncture, oral medication, etc. In summer, when the yang is the most abundant in nature, drug or non-drug treatment can warm the yang and tonify the kidney, dispel cold and dredge collaterals, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases prone to occur in winter.
