Cold Damage - Narrow Sense
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
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
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).
Anchor fast decisions
In the 'Treatise on Cold Damage', 'Taiyang Cold Damage': cold damages the defensive qi, the pores are blocked (no sweating), the pathogen stagnates at the exterior and transforms into heat, forming a 'pressure cooker' state; treatment is to open the exterior and induce sweating with pungent-warm herbs (Mahuang Decoction) to expel the pathogen.
