Internal Cold
Internal Cold is further divided into Deficient Cold and Excess Cold:
Deficient Cold:
The basis of Deficient Cold is Yang Deficiency
with the corresponding symptoms. It usually originates from Yang Deficiency of the
Lungs, Spleen or
Kidneys and increases the person's sensitivity to
external Cold.
Excess Cold:
Internal Excess Cold can be caused by cold climate or cold foods and iced beverages,
which attack the Zang-Fu organs. It corresponds to
Yin Excess. Internal Excess Cold damages
Yang and can lead to Yang Deficiency.
