Cold or Something Else? A TCM way to Identify and Treat Common Cold

Join Us Online for Cold or Something Else?

In real-world practice, “common cold” is not a small topic. It is a clinical doorway.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a cold is not simply an upper respiratory infection. It is an early warning system that reveals how the body responds to external pathogens, how internal weaknesses are exposed, and why chronic patterns flare when the weather changes.

Many clinicians quietly know this truth: a huge portion of daily outpatient cases involves cold-related patterns or complications, often well over 50% in season. And when we miss the correct pattern early, patients do not just get a longer cold. They get headaches that worsen, asthma that relapses, digestive issues that spiral, insomnia that returns, and chronic conditions that suddenly feel unstoppable.

This class is built for one goal: more clinical clarity in less time.

Textbooks teach categories. Clinics demand precision.
We will help you bridge that gap.
