TCM What is Warm Illness Is Warm Illness a Cold

A general term for a type of acute fever caused by the feeling of warmth. Also known as fever. It belongs to the category of generalized typhoid fever.

The main clinical manifestations are fever, excessive heat (signs of heat such as tongue, pulse, and drowning), and ease of dryness and yin. Fever includes a wide range of diseases, and acute fever other than the nature of wind and cold in general external diseases belongs to the scope of temperature disease. For example, wind temperature, spring temperature, summer temperature, humid temperature, summer heat, autumn dryness, warm poison, etc.

Fever disease is a common disease, and its occurrence has obvious seasonality, most of which have a rapid onset and rapid transmission, and most of them have varying degrees of infectiousness and epidemic. For the first time of warm disease, the basic principle should be to clear away heat and store yin. (copied from the encyclopedia).

Warm illness is not a cold. The cold, which is a self-healing disease, is generally divided into the common cold and the epidemic cold. The common cold, according to Chinese medicine"Cold", is a common respiratory disease caused by a variety of viruses, of which 30% to 50% are caused by a serotype of rhinovirus.

Although the common cold usually occurs in early winter, it can occur in any season, such as spring and summer, and the pathogenic virus of colds in different seasons is not exactly the same. Epidemic is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. The virus is present in the respiratory tract of a sick person and is transmitted to others through droplets when a sick person coughs or sneezes.

It's heat stroke, it's the plague!

In ancient times, fever was called warm disease. A general term for a type of acute fever caused by the feeling of warmth. Also known as fever.

The most famous prescriptions that can be used for fever and fever reduction are the Three Treasures of Warm Disease: namely Angong Niuhuang Pill, Zixuedan, and Zhibaodan.

The selection of the three is exquisite:

Angong Niuhuang Pill, from Wu Jutong's "Differentiation of Warm Illness", is suitable for those patients with high fever, coma, and "confusion";

Zixuedan, from the Song Dynasty "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula", from "Qianjin Yifang", is suitable for patients with high fever, irritability and even coma with febrile convulsions, convulsions of hands and feet, and often making ping-pong sounds;

To Bao Dan, there are about 22 songs of the same name, which were first from the Song Dynasty. Because the prescription uses many aromatic and enlightening herbs, it is more suitable for patients who are in a deep coma with fever and phlegm, and who are silent.

Based on these characteristics, there is a saying in the Chinese medicine community that "Ping Pong Zixue Dan, silent to Baodan, confused Bezoar Pill".

1.From the Warring States period to the Tang Dynasty, the temperature disease was subordinate to the wounded and shouted wheel farrow. People's understanding of ** is limited to typhoid fever, but typhoid fever has a broad and narrow sense, the so-called generalized typhoid fever, in the "Difficult Scripture Fifty-eight Difficulties" is called "typhoid fever has five:."

There is a stroke, there is typhoid fever, there is dampness, there is fever, there is warmth". It can be seen that warm disease belongs to a category of generalized typhoid fever.

2.Warm disease is a disease caused by the feeling of warmth and evil with fever as the main symptom, and it is not just a fever of typhoid fever, Liu Hejian proposed that the six qi are all cremated, so it is not only heat that causes temperature disease, but also the cause of temperature illness has a "new sense" and "evil spirit", "Neijing" "Winter hurts to the cold, spring must be warm disease" and the evil is also Zheng Zao.

2.In winter, it is injured by the cold and evil, and it does not get sick, and in winter, it corresponds to the same qi, so it does not occur. In spring, the yang energy sprouts outside, the yin and cold compete on the inside, and the yin and yang fight, so the fever starts.

This heat should be in spring, so it is called spring temperature. Because the spring temperature is not an ordinary external feeling, but an internal injury to the cold, therefore, disturbing the guard and disorderly camp, moving the air and blood, therefore, the spring is depressed and feverish, or there is a feeling.

A general term for acute external diseases caused by the evil of feeling warmth, which is characterized by heavy heat and easy to dissolve dryness and hurt yin. Including a variety of external acute fever, such as wind temperature, spring temperature, summer temperature, humid temperature, autumn dryness, summer heat, winter temperature, warm plague, warm poison, big head plague, rotten throat sha and so on.

As early as in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", there are records related to temperature disease. The White Tiger Soup and Chengqi Soup in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" were the basis for the treatment of temperature diseases in later generations. However, for a long period of time, the science of thermopathology has not been able to get rid of the shackles of the doctrine system of subduing cold and turning mild typhoid fever.

Liu Hejian of the Jin Dynasty advocated the method of using pungent and cool to relieve the surface of warm fever at the beginning, and created a "cold and cool school". In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Lu further made a clear distinction between warm disease and typhoid fever. Wu Youke believes that the ** of the warm epidemic is a kind of anger, marking the establishment of the theory of warm disease.

In the Qing Dynasty, Ye Tianshi founded the theory of blood syndrome differentiation in Weiqiying, clarified the law of the occurrence and development of warm disease, and pushed the theory of warm disease to maturity.

The Weiqiying blood syndrome differentiation was founded by Ye Tianshi, which divided the process of Wen Douchen's disease into four stages, namely, Wei Division, Qi Division, Camp Division, and Blood Division. The health syndrome is the beginning of the fever disease, which is a table, and the disease is mild; The qi division is warm and evil from the surface into the inside, and the evil is blazing; The camp and blood division syndrome is a critical stage in which the evil heat penetrates, the yin blood is consumed, and the mind is injured.

The use of thermopathological methods and prescriptions has achieved good results in modern medicine such as Japanese encephalitis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, enteric typhoid, pneumonia, measles and other diseases.
