What to eat with a cold?
Wind-cold colds are caused by the invasion of wind-cold pathogens and lung failure, which mostly occur in autumn and winter. The general symptoms are pain in the back of the head, stiff neck rotation, fear of cold and wind, runny nose, white or slightly yellow tongue coating, and heavy nasal congestion. The key to treating wind-cold cold is sweating (called pungent warming to relieve exterior syndrome in Chinese medicine).
Traditional Chinese medicine has rich treatment methods for different types of colds, but to achieve good curative effect, it is essential to blindly "assist medicine"-hot porridge. As early as more than two thousand years ago, there was such a discussion in Treatise on Febrile Diseases. When talking about the method of taking Guizhi decoction, it is particularly emphasized that "take it for a while and sip more than one liter of hot porridge to help the medicine." I have to tuck myself in for a while and make myself sweat a little. It shows that when taking Guizhi decoction, drinking hot porridge without quilt is not effective.
