Colds and Flus
Understanding Colds & Flus
Most colds and flus don't stay the same from beginning to end. They evolve.
You might start with a scratchy throat and chills, develop a fever the next day, begin coughing a few days later, and then spend another week recovering your energy. Each stage places different demands on the body, which is why experienced Chinese medicine practitioners rarely use the same formula throughout an entire illness.
The Chiron Network is designed to help you understand that progression.
Rather than memorising herbal formulas, start by identifying the stage of your illness. Each condition page explains the typical symptoms, why they occur, and the traditional formulas practitioners commonly consider at that point in recovery.
Colds Shivers & Sniffles
The earliest stage

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you've probably got a cold coming on - so get on it fast and nip it in the bud - the cold won't progress any further and you've just saved yourself a week worth of illness.
