Invasion of Lungs by Wind Cold

This pattern is the common cold. In Chinese medicine it is due weakness of the body’s chi in relation to pathogenic factors such as exposure to wind and cold. This pattern can also be caused by too-cold air-conditioning weakening the body’s chi; or activities such as working out inside and then going outside into cool, windy or cold weather.

Cough, fever, itchy throat, stuffed or runny nose with clear-watery mucus, sneezing, aversion to cold, occipital headache, body ache.
