From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, does COVID-19 belong to “wind-cold” or “wind-heat”?
Omicron believed that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, his infection was classified as wind chill, because he had obvious chills during his illness, and cough with white phlegm, runny nose, and other symptoms, which are typical symptoms of wind chill.
Some patients infected with COVID-19 chatted about their feelings about the course of their illness. Omicron believed that from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, his infection was classified as wind chill, because he had obvious chills during his illness, and cough with white phlegm, runny nose, and other symptoms, which are typical symptoms of wind chill.
Many patients said that they washed their hair and took a bath during the illness, and their illness became significantly worse after encountering wind-cold as if they were infected with Omicron also belongs to wind-cold.
So how can wind chill and wind-heat be distinguished?
Wind-cold cold is caused by infection with wind-cold pathogens. It is characterized by severe aversion to cold, mild fever, runny nose, cough with white phlegm, no sweat, headache, sore limbs and joints, and white tongue.
Wind-heat cold is caused by the evil of wind-heat infection, manifested as severe fever, aversion to cold light, nasal congestion, yellow nose, sore throat, headache, and yellow tongue coating.
In fact, wind-cold and wind-heat are not easy to distinguish. This is why some people eat Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen capsule has the effect, and some people eat but not effective. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes “treatment based on syndrome differentiation”. Only by understanding the pathogenesis can medicine be more accurate. If you are infected with the novel coronavirus and the disease is originally wind cold, some cold medicine, such as the Lianhua Qingwen capsule, is equivalent to “adding insult to injury” due to misjudgment.
There is also an Omicron infection, which is not simply wind-heat or wind-chill, but cold dampness. The reason why many people recover slowly is related to spleen deficiency and heavy dampness. If the patient’s tongue is thick-coated and greasy, there may be tooth marks on the tip of the tongue, fatigue, fear of coldness, and abdominal pain and diarrhea, then it is cold and wet. If you live in Guangdong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces or southern Fujian, or you are a person with heavy humidity, the probability of cold and dampness will be great. You need to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.
The so-called “epidemic” is not the common evil of “cold, heat, wind, and humidity”. That is to say, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the pathological properties of COVID-19 Omicron range from hot to cold and possibly wet, which is very similar to influenza, which is also the essence of the virus. Therefore, we simply attribute Omicron to “wind-cold” or “wind-heat”, which is unscientific and needs to be treated based on syndrome differentiation.
