Exterior wind-cold

The principal syndrome where the main pathological development is identified manifests through a series of main symptoms. For example, the main symptoms indicating an exterior wind-cold syndrome are chills and fever, headache and generalized body pain. These result from the invasion of wind and cold at the superficial region of the body, the failure of the Defensive-Qi to spread, and obstruction in the blood circulation. [Pg.8]

A secondary syndrome develops from the principal syndrome and manifests in a series of secondary symptoms. When the principal syndrome is treated, the secondary syndrome may disappear as well. For example, in an exterior wind-cold syndrome, since the superficial region is obstructed, the Lung-Qi is unable to disperse so the nose may be blocked and there may be shortness of breath. As soon as the wind-cold is expelled from the superficial region of the body, the Lung-Qi obstruction disappears and the secondary symptoms disappear too. [Pg.8]

A side effect of Xi Xin occurs when it is applied incorrectly. Because it is very hot and pungent, it can easily injure the Yin, blood, body fluid and Qi. It should not be used, or must be used with caution, in patients who suffer from exterior wind-cold syndrome where internal heat also coexists and the Yin, blood and body fluids are deficient. The dosage of Xi Xin should also be controlled carefully in the range of 1-3 g per day for crude herbs. If the powdered herbal extract is used, the dosage should be reduced to 0.1 -0.5 g per day. Overdose may cause numbness in the throat and tongue, a stifling... [Pg.42]

Bai Shao Yao is often selected in the deficiency condition of an exterior wind-cold syndrome when the Yin, body fluids and blood are weakened through sweating. [Pg.43]

Gui Zhi is sweet and warm, and primarily enters the Heart meridian. It has an aromatic smell that gives this herb a thin pungent property, which makes it move quickly and lightly. It can particularly warm the blood, stimulate the Heart and promote the blood circulation thus it can treat cold hands and feet, cramp of the muscles and pain due to cold obstruction of the blood circulation. In addition, Gui Zhi also enters the Lung and Bladder meridians, is able to expel wind and cold in the superficial region and can therefore treat exterior wind-cold syndrome. [Pg.120]

Lung-Qi is obstructed by exterior wind-cold use Jing Jie (Schizonepetae herba) and Fang Feng... [Pg.267]

Jing Jie and Fang Feng are pungent and slightly warm. They can expel wind and are commonly used for mild exterior wind-cold syndrome. In the syndrome of disharmony of Ying and Wei, they can be selected as assistants to expel wind and directly relieve aversion to wind. [Pg.373]

When the exterior pathogenic wind-cold attacks the superficial region of the body, the Defensive-Qi is not strong enough to close the pores, and the pathogenic wind and cold can easily invade the body. [Pg.39]

Gui Zhi is pungent, warm and sweet. Besides expelling wind and cold to treat exterior syndrome, Gui Zhi is able to warm the blood, promote blood circulation and reduce the general pain, stiffness and cold. It is particularly chosen as deputy to enhance the strength of chief herbs to expel wind-cold in treating a severe excess condition of wind-cold syndrome when the general pain of the body is severe. [Pg.42]

Bai Shao Yao is sour, bitter and slightly cold. Sour and cold may generate the blood, and therefore supplements the shortage of the Yin. It is often used with Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi cassiae ramulus), which is pungent, sweet and warm, expels wind-cold, and warms and stimulates the blood and Qi. When they are used together, they can harmonize the Defen-sive-Qi and Nutritive-Yin in the superficial region so as to stabilize the exterior. [Pg.43]

Bei Sha Shen is sweet and cold, and enters the Lung meridian. It can be used for the same purpose as Lu Gen. However, as it is sweeter and less cold than Lu Gen, it is only used at the recovery stage of a wind-heat syndrome where the exterior wind-heat barely exists but the Lung-Yin is still severely injured. [Pg.50]

Ma Huang is very warm and very pungent, and enters the Lung meridian. It can quickly and efficiently disperse the Lung-Qi and the restrained heat in the Lung. It enters the Bladder meridian and can eliminate the exterior pathogenic wind-cold as well. [Pg.53]

This formula can release exterior, transform dampness, regulate the Qi and harmonize the Middle-Jiao. It is used for treating invasion of exterior pathogenic wind-cold-dampness in the superficial region, as well as obstruction of damp-cold in the Middle-Jiao by inappropriate eating and drinking. [Pg.209]

This chapter introduces the principles, methods and strategies for the composition of formulas that expel exterior wind, damp, cold and heat from the skin, subcutaneous region, meridians and collaterals. They are used to treat Bi syndrome, Wei syndrome and certain skin disorders. [Pg.335]

Indications 1) External invasion, wind cold in cases of exterior vacuity of the taiyang, 2) internal diseases with loss of harmony between the constructive and defensive, such as after prolonged disease or postpartum. Common cold, neuralgia, headache, abdominal pain due to chills, bodily weakness and vacuity, eclampsia, and neurasthenia. [Pg.15]

Because many of the medicinals in this formula are warm, windy, and drying, this formula should only be used for the treatment of exterior pattern wind, cold, and dampness. It is contraindicated in cases where there is heat. [Pg.25]

When Qi, Yang, fire and wind are ascending in an acute pathological condition, herbs that move Qi, blood or Yang upwards and outwards should be used with caution. Relevant formulas here are those which treat Bi syndrome or exterior syndrome caused by wind, damp and cold, formulas that disperse and spread the Liver-Qi and formulas that treat headache caused by Qi and blood stagnation. [Pg.27]

Sweating is the means of expelling the exterior pathogenic factors, especially wind and cold. The dosage of herbs should be adjusted according to the reaction and any changes in the symptoms. A mild sweat over the whole body is required. After sweating, patients should feel better. Heavy sweat can injure the Yin and the body fluid, and must be avoided. [Pg.40]

Lian Qiao is bitter, cold and aromatic, and enters the Heart and Small Intestine meridians. Although it does not enter the Lung meridian, it is still often used in formulas to treat wind-heat syndrome as a chief herb. This is because its aromatic smell can disperse the Qi in the Upper-Jiao and gently release the exterior, and it leaches out heat from the Heart through the Small Intestine. It is especially effective in dispersing and clearing heat in the Heart and relieving restlessness and a warm sensation in the chest. [Pg.49]

The method used in this formula is to apply a small amount of warm herbs in a large number of cold herbs to stimulate the Qi, open the pores, expel wind and, in this way, release the exterior. [Pg.53]

Exterior dampness is a Yin pathogenic factor. It often invades the body with wind and cold. [Pg.202]

Huo Xiang is used as chief. It has the function of either expelling wind, damp and cold from the exterior, or eliminating damp-cold from the Middle-Jiao. These functions are derived from its warm, pungent and aromatic properties and the ability to enter the Lung, Stomach and Spleen meridians. [Pg.209]
