- Cold and flu affect human everyday. They are too common and easily got over-looked. Improper treatments may result in the development of all kinds of nasal and skin allergies, which largely reduce the efficiency of our everyday life. Sneezing and running nose all morning, stuffy nose all night, coughing every hour, low fever at night, chronic fatigue, or itch rash all over, are all getting more and more common nowadays. Suppressive and Replacement therapies may get rid of the symptoms quickly but they may easily weaken our lung and spleen systems.
- Suppressive therapies suppress body functions and hence are COLD in nature. However they sometimes compress the Yang level rather than simply reduce it, which will result in a COLD body state but at the same time forcing the body to generate "trapped Evil Yang" within. As a result, both Yang raising and Evil Yang reducing treatments are required at the same time for the reversal process.
- Replacement therapies such as hormone will promote temperately HOT body states, while antibiotics will promote COLD body states. However in both cases, the system of which the function is being replaced is getting colder and weaker. HOT herbs are needed to stimulate the five systems back to the corresponding acceptable levels.
- The Good and Evil Yin-Yang chart graphically illustrates the changes in body states during this development process and the reversal process. With this insight, herbal formulae for the above reversal treatments are chosen accordingly and they are presented in this paper.
