TCM Treatment for common cold and fluTCM Perspective On Common Cold and Flu

TCM takes a holistic approach towards health. No two persons are alike thus there is no standard treatment for a particular condition. Instead, before every prescription, the Physician must first perform a differential diagnosis by looking at the tongue, feeling the pulse and inquiring about the signs and symptoms. He then analyses and interprets this data which forms the basis of treatment.

TCM believes that the common cold arises from exposure to environmental factors, such as wind, cold, heat, dampness or dryness. These pathogens invade our body when our immunity is low. Low immunity is the result of imbalances in our internal organ system. Thus in performing differential diagnosis, the Physician looks for a"pattern of disharmony" that is unique to each patient and treats it accordingly.

In TCM, cough can be classified as either exterior or interior cough. Exterior cough arises from external pathogens whereas interior cough arises from a combination of imbalance in the internal system and invasion of phlegm and/or fire. In making a diagnosis, the Physician takes into consideration the time of the day when cough is most frequent, characteristics of the cough, phlegm and coughing sound. Under exterior cough, the three major classifications are wind-cold,wind-heat and wind-dryness. Under interior cough, it can be classified as phlegm-dampness, phlegm-heat, deficiency in Lung Yin and Liver Fire invading lungs.

In determining the cause of headache, one must know how the headache arises, the duration,characteristics and location of the pain. A common form of interior headache is caused by the liver fire. Such headaches usually worsen in the afternoon, may be throbbing and/or accompanied by the appearance of blue veins on the forehead or temples.

Special Hints for Your Diet in TCM
Traditional Chinese medicine is a fantastic art of healing. TCM doctors use not only herbal medicines for treating diseases, but also they pay close attention to the patient's diet. In TCM, it's required that a patient should have a proper diet during the whole course of treatment. A perfect TCM prescription together with a proper diet can make you recover from the disease as soon as possible. Following is our suggestions on your diet.
Foods fit to eat
Drink plenty of cold and hot liquids. Water, caffeine-free tea, fruit juice, or broth based soups. When you have cold, liquids thin and loosen mucus and help get it moving out of your body.
Foods unfit to eat
Avoid caffeine. The diuretic effect of caffeine in fluids like coffee, tea, and soda drinks make them less helpful than water or decaffeinated beverages when you have a cold.
