Influenza of Wind Heat Type Syndrome  風熱感 冒

Translated by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu                   (in English and Chinese 中英文)

The wind heat type of flu or cold is induced by the heat on the exterior of the body. The syndrome includes: feeling of more fever than chill, avoiding wind,  sweating, yellow or sticky phlegm, stuffy nose with yellow mucus, thirsty and longing to drink liquid,  tongue with red tip and sides with light white and slightly yellow fur, floating tight pulse.

Treatment: use acrid and cool herb to relieve exterior.

Use formulae like:  yin qiao san,  sang ju yin, jie geng tang, shang qing san, ju hua san etc. If it does not heal for a long time, the patient can be deficient. Then, do not relief exterior. If it is yang deficient, it is suitable to add ren shen, bai zhu.  If it is yin deficient, add di huang, wu wei zi, double the amount of mai dong, bai shao.
