CORE DEFINITION

Specifically refers to the 'Taiyang Cold Damage Syndrome' in the 'Treatise on Cold Damage'. It manifests as fever, absence of sweating, aversion to cold, body pain, and a floating and tight pulse. Because cold pathogen constrains the exterior, the pores are closed.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

The skin and hair are locked. This is another type of common cold. The pores are tightly closed (no sweating), heat cannot dissipate, and the inside is like a pressure cooker. It must be treated with 'Mahuang Decoction' to forcefully open the lid (induce sweating).
