How to treat
 colds & flu with Chinese medicine

Did you know that your cold can be hot? In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) a cold or flu has either a hot or cold nature. Knowing the difference helps you feel better faster.

If you have these symptoms, it means you have a “wind invasion” in TCM, or what we consider a flu or cold: 

  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Cough
  • Sneezing
  • Runny nose
  • Congestion
But these symptoms alone don’t yet tell us if your cold is hot or cold type...

If you also have these symptoms then you have a “cold” cold:
  • Chills
  • Lack of sweating
  • Stiff neck 
  • Body-aches
  • Congestion with clear or white mucous

W I N D - C O L D   R E M E D I E S

“Cold” colds respond best to heat remedies that give you a slight sweat:
  • Fresh ginger tea
  • Hot sauna or bath
  • Heat up your neck with the Lanshin Hot Massager by Acera
  • Lots of hot water
  • Sleep with extra covers
  • Moxabustion*
*Don't try this at home. See your L. Ac.

If you also have these symptoms then you have a “hot” cold:
  • Sore throat
  • Fever, no chills
  • Hot and sweating
  • Very thirsty
  • Red face and eyes
  • Congestion with yellow or stick mucous

W I N D - H E A T   R E M E D I E S

“Hot” colds respond best to cooling remedies that also resolve "wind":
  • Peppermint or chrysanthemum tea
  • Cooling, bitter herbs
  • Lots of fluid and hydration
  • Bleeding acupuncture points that cool "wind heat"
  • Medical Gua Sha and Cupping*
*Don't try this at home. See your L. Ac.

  • I’m a testament that miracles happen. When I turned 18, My grandfather encouraged me to buy a lottery ticket for fun but I wasn’t pleased with the way I kept on playing without winning. I was eager to learn more about how to win the lottery and when I searched the internet I found numerous articles saying how they won the lottery through his spells and I decided to give it a try by contacting Lord Meduza. I’d love to say that this man is such a sweet soul who got my back all through the process of making me a lottery spell to win the lottery. The numbers he gave me won me the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball of a whopping $48,000,000 Million Canadian Dollars. Right now, my family and I are blessed. Thank you LORD MEDUZA for making this win come true for me and my family. Anyone that seeks for his help can use the below details to reach out to him

  • Anyone diagnosed with HPV needs to be careful not to fall into any of these online traditional-medical doctors who will just take your money and render you empty help. I fell victim several times just Because I was HPV positive. Not until I found Dr. OGEDEGBE who cured me with his natural medicine and his medicine acted fast without any side effects. You can connect him with any of these information. whatsapp +2349121737553. He also has remedy for HERPES, COPD, HBP, CANCER, FIBROID, AND MANY MORE.
