Some general symptoms of Hot & Cold conditions

[Guest guest]

These are general remarks concerning Hot and Cold disorders.

 

People who are too Hot dislike hot weather, are bothered by hot weather, and

tend to feel too hot a lot. People who are too Cold dislike cold weather, are

bothered by cold weather, and tend to feel too cold a lot. When I say " dislike "

and " are bothered by " , I mean that the winter or the summer is the person's

least favorite time of the year because of the cold or the heat. The individual

tends to do better when it's not cold or not hot.

 

People with Hot conditions tend to be thristy a lot and want cold drinks. People

with Cold conditions rarely are thirsty, may even have an adversion to drinking,

and when they do take liquids, prefer hot drinks or even soup.

 

Urine output in people with Hot conditions will tend to be dark-colored and

scanty. In many cases, the darker the urine, the more Heat is present. In

contrast people who are too Cold tend to produce a lot of very light-colored,

even clear, urine.

 

The movements and speech of people who are too Hot tend to be rapid. Cold people

tend to talk and move slowly.

 

In general, Hot conditions are revealed by red tongue color. The tongue coating

is yellow, and the pulse is rapid. Cold conditions usually result in pale

tongue color, white tongue coating, and a slow pulse. There are exceptions. One

of the exceptions for pulse is that atheletes, especially distance runners will

tend to have lower than normal pulses. People who are overweight will tend to

have more rapid pulses than they otherwise would have.

 

If an application of warmth makes pain worse but application of cold makes the

pain less, that's a Hot condition. If applying cold makes the pain worse but

application of warmth eases it, that's a Cold condition. Hot needs and wants

cooling; Cold needs and wants warmth.

 

In Hot conditions the bowel movements tend to be hard and dry. People with Hot

conditions tend to have constipation. In Cold conditions, the stools tend to be

loose. People with Cold conditions tend to have diarrhea. I want you to note

that constipation and diarrhea are two of the most general and least specific

symptoms in judging Hot and Cold. There are cases of dysentary caused by Heat.

Likewise, there are cases of constipation (or colonic inertia to be more exact)

that are caused by Cold. More specific for Heat conditions than constipation is

that the bowel movements and the urine may have an unusually strong odor.
