Wind aversion (Fear of wind) refers to feeling afraid upon seeing wind, while there is no such aversion in a sealed room. Wind pathogen damages the Wei Qi (Defensive Qi), and when Wei Qi is deficient, the Cou Li (skin pores and interstitial spaces) become loose, leading to wind aversion. This all belongs to Yang syndromes, unlike cold aversion, which has distinctions between Yin and Yang. If there is no sweat and cold aversion exists, it is Cold Damage (Shanghan), and diaphoresis should be induced. If there is sweat and wind aversion, it is Wind Strike (Zhongfeng), and the muscles should be resolved; diaphoresis must not be used again. If interior symptoms are severe while wind aversion persists, the exterior syndrome must particularly be resolved first. Rheumatism affecting the three Yang meridians all present with this symptom and must be distinguished carefully.
In Taiyang Wind Strike syndrome, the pulse is floating on the superficial layer and weak on the deep layer, presenting with wind aversion, spontaneous sweating, fever, nasal congestion with roaring sound, and dry heaves; Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is indicated. For headache, fever, body ache, lower back pain, bone and joint pain, wind aversion, anhidrosis, and wheezing, Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is indicated.
Excessive diaphoresis leads to Wei Qi deficiency and loss of Yang Qi, resulting in unceasing leakage of sweat and wind aversion. The treatment method should employ warming, using Guizhi Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Aconite Decoction).
For difficult urination, slight stiffness of the four limbs, and difficulty in flexion and extension, the treatment is the same as above.
If after vomiting or purgation, the condition remains unresolved after seven or eight days, with heat in both the interior and exterior, intermittent wind aversion, extreme thirst, dry tongue, and irritability, Baihu Jia Renshen Tang (White Tiger Decoction plus Ginseng) is indicated.
Unceasing sweating inevitably causes wind aversion, irritability, and inability to lie down. Fangfeng Baizhu Muli Tang (Saposhnikovia, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Oyster Shell Decoction) should be administered first, followed by Xiaojianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction).
In rheumatism, wind aversion with a desire to keep clothes on, vexing pain in the bone and joints, inability to flex and extend, sweating, shortness of breath, difficult urination, or slight bodily edema indicate Gancao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Decoction).
Floating pulse, heavy body, sweating, and wind aversion indicate Fangji Huangqi Tang (Stephania and Astragalus Decoction).
Cold aversion (Aversion to cold) refers to feeling cold even without exposure to wind; although the body may be hot, there is no desire to remove clothing or blankets. When Wind-Cold pathogens lodge in the Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) and Wei Qi, and Yin Qi ascends into the Yang region, shivering and cold aversion occur. The Classics state: Fever accompanied by cold aversion indicates onset from Yang; absence of fever with cold aversion indicates onset from Yin. For instance, whether fever has already appeared or not, cold aversion invariably precedes fever, indicating onset from Yang. If initially there is cold aversion and fatigue, with a deep, fine, and tight pulse, this indicates heat originating from Yin. Syndromes in Yang require diaphoresis, while those in Yin require warming the interior. If purgative indications are fully present but mild cold aversion exists, the exterior has not yet been resolved; the exterior should be resolved first, followed by attacking the interior. In Shaoyin disease, cold aversion with fatigue, cold extremities, spontaneous diarrhea, irritability, and an imperceptible pulse constitute an untreatable condition.
In Taiyang disease, with fever or pre-fever stage, cold aversion with sweating, Guizhi Tang is indicated; without sweating, Mahuang Tang is indicated.
Disease presenting with fever and cold aversion, where heat predominates over cold, and a weak pulse, indicates absence of Yang Qi; diaphoresis is contraindicated, and Yebing Tang (Yeast Broth Decoction) is indicated.
Yangming disease generally requires purgation, but if mild cold aversion exists, it is a combined disease with Taiyang, located in the meridians and belonging to the exterior; diaphoresis can be used, with Mahuang Tang. If the pulse is slow, sweating is profuse, and there is mild cold aversion, the exterior is not yet resolved; despite Yangming symptoms, Guizhi Tang can be used.
Shaoyang disease, with sweating only on the head and mild cold aversion, is treated with Chaihu Guizhi Tang (Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
Fever, followed by wind aversion and vomiting after sweating, with only epigastric fullness/stuffiness, is treated with Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria). Cold aversion after diaphoresis indicates deficiency, treated with Shaoyao Fuzi Gancao Tang (Peony, Aconite, and Licorice Decoction).
Cold aversion with a faint pulse and subsequent diarrhea indicates loss of blood essence, treated with Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) plus Ren Shen (Ginseng). Cold aversion after sweating, with a fine, rapid, floating, and delayed pulse, and incessant vomiting, is treated with Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill).
After severe purgation followed by diaphoresis, epigastric fullness with cold aversion indicates the exterior is not yet resolved; resolve the exterior first with Guizhi Tang, then attack the fullness with Sanhuang Xiexin Tang (Three-Yellow Heart-Draining Decoction).
In Taiyang disease, after purgation, if the pulse is hurried and there is chest fullness, Guizhi Qu Shaoyao Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction minus Peony) is used. If there is mild cold aversion, Guizhi Jia Shaoyao Fuzi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Peony and Aconite) is used.
In Shaoyin disease, with a deep and fine pulse and cold aversion, Sini Tang is indicated. If there is diarrhea, cold aversion, fatigue, but warm extremities, Xiaojianzhong Tang is indicated. If there is cold aversion, fatigue, frequent self-irritability, and a dislike for thick clothing, Dachaibu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) is indicated.
Patients who have lost blood should not undergo diaphoresis; inducing sweat will cause chills and trembling, treated with Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) and Shaoyao Tang (Peony Decoction).
Those with a weak pulse should not undergo diaphoresis; inducing sweat will cause chills and inability to recover, treated with Danggui Sini Tang (Angelica Sinensis and Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
