The idea of treating winter diseases in summer was first seen in Huangdi Neijing. "So saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter, so they can follow their roots, so they rise and fall with everything at the door of growth." "The so-called four seasons win, spring wins long summer, long summer wins winter, winter wins summer, summer wins autumn, autumn wins spring, so-called four seasons win." . It shows that the ancients began to use climate and biological restraint to guide health care and treatment three thousand years ago. It is the concrete application of the holistic view of "harmony between man and nature" and the disease prevention view of "prevention before illness" in traditional Chinese medicine.
With the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of winter diseases in summer has been widely used in clinic. Commonly used treatment methods include: exercise guidance, acupuncture, moxibustion, sticking, hyperthermia, oral medication, etc. In order to warm yang, dispel cold and dredge collaterals, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases prone to occur in winter.
