@kathyhealthtips: Catching a Cold? Know Your Type Before You Sip In Traditional Chinese Medicine, not all colds are the same. Some are Cold Type (Wind Cold), others are Heat Type (Wind Heat). Understanding the difference helps you heal faster and stay balanced. Cold Type Cold: You feel chills, stiff neck, clear runny nose, no sweat, your body’s surface Qi is “closed.” Warm it up with fresh ginger tea, green onion soup, or hot miso broth to drive the cold out gently. Heat Type Cold: You feel feverish, sore throat, thirst, yellow phlegm, your body’s heat is rising. Cool it down with chrysanthemum tea, boiled pear water, or mint tea to clear heat and moisten the lungs. Balance is the key, warm when cold, cool when hot. That’s the wisdom of TCM healing your body from within. #TCMForColds #HerbalHealing #BoostImmunity #HealingFoods #kathyhealthtips
