Early Cold Remedies Three Proven Formulas
Early stage of cold (without sweating)
Why is it particularly emphasized that there is no sweating? Because in Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, whether or not sweating is present is a crucial key point. Sweating indicates an interior pattern, whereas no sweating means the condition remains exterior, and the virus has not yet invaded the internal organs.
【Proven Formula One】
...Drink warm garlic juice, or eat chopped garlic and ginger soaked in hot water or mixed with noodles; once sweating occurs, the illness will be cured.
【Proven Formula Two】
...Cut six green onions into slices, crush them in a mortar, add thirty grams of old ginger sliced and twelve grams of fermented soybean, place all in a pot, add one cup of water, boil until only half a cup remains concentrated, strain out the residue, drink while hot, wear more clothes or lie under a cotton quilt to induce sweating. Green onion whites, old ginger, and fermented soybeans all have warming and sweat-promoting effects, so this food can be used effectively for early-stage colds with nasal congestion, headache, and no sweating.
Early stage of cold (with severe headache)
【Proven Formula One】
...Chop three garlic cloves and ten green onion whites, mix into cooked porridge, reheat once, eat while hot, wear more clothes or cover with a cotton quilt to keep body warm. This food is especially effective for treating early-stage colds, particularly those accompanied by headaches.
【Proven Formula Two】
...Chop fifteen grams of green onion whites and fifteen grams of old ginger slices, add nine grams of tea leaves, place in a pot with one and a half cups of water, boil and strain the residue, pour the liquid into a cup, drink while hot, and avoid exposure to wind. The tea leaves in the ingredients are very effective in treating headaches; most modern cold medicines contain tea components.
【Proven Formula Three】
...If suffering from chills and abdominal pain after getting caught in the rain, finely slice one liang of ginger, add rock sugar and green onion whites, steep in boiling water or boil briefly, drink while hot, cover with a quilt and lie down; sweating will cure the condition.
