What are the symptoms of severe cold?

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a certain amount of coldness inside the body. Mild coldness will not have much impact on the body, but if the coldness is too heavy, it will affect the health of the body. For example, many people are prone to various discomfort symptoms in life, especially joints and gastrointestinal problems are most susceptible to the impact of coldness. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of heavy coldness.

1. Head: When dampness first invades the body, you may feel dizzy, heavy, sleepy, and uncomfortable in your limbs, as if there are heavy objects attached to your body.

2. Joints: If the joints in the body have been eroded, the joints will also show certain symptoms. Some qi and blood will not flow smoothly, and there will be soreness and heaviness in the joints of the limbs, and difficulty in flexing and extending the joints.

3. Digestive function: Dampness disturbs the spleen and affects its normal function of transportation and transformation, which will manifest as chest tightness, abdominal distension, poor appetite, decreased food intake, and unformed food. When "internal dampness" occurs due to poor spleen function, there are often symptoms of qi deficiency and dampness, such as a tasteless and sticky mouth, thirst without wanting to drink water, fatigue and listlessness.

4. Urine and vaginal discharge in women, and stools will also appear to be relatively watery: Another characteristic of dampness is that it "tends downward", easily injuring the body below the waist. Chinese medicine health care can strengthen the spleen and "eliminate dampness". Characteristics such as turbid urine, loose stools, excessive vaginal discharge in women, and vaginal itching are relatively classic.

5. Tongue coating: Thick and greasy tongue coating is a classic manifestation of dampness, which often manifests itself before the body shows obvious pathological conditions. The most accurate way to look at the tongue coating is in the early morning when you just wake up. Check the severity of the teeth marks on the edge of your tongue. If they are very obvious, it means that you have a lot of moisture.
