薑茶發汗抗寒邪
寒邪，常見於冬季的致病原因，寒邪有三大特性：一、易傷陽氣，受寒邪侵襲就會怕冷怕風；二、凝滯，寒邪會使身體內的氣血津液運行減慢，不通則痛，容易引致頭痛及頸部肌肉酸痛。三、收縮，寒邪侵襲人體會使毛孔緊閉，皮膚收縮，所以感受寒邪會令人打冷顫及起雞皮疙瘩。如果寒邪侵襲脾胃，以致脾胃運化功能失常，會出現嘔吐及腹瀉的情況，這種腹瀉狀況來得較為急速，大便較為清稀，臭味不重，伴有腹脹及腹痛。
受到寒邪侵襲，治療方法為溫中散寒，宜適量進食驅寒暖胃的食物，例如飲用薑茶、炒米水等；避免再進食屬性寒涼生冷例如魚生壽司、香蕉、梨、西瓜等，以免加重風寒症狀。風寒感冒初起可自行沖泡薑茶紓緩症狀，因為薑性溫，有發汗散寒、溫中止嘔的功效，可紓緩因風寒感冒而引起的怕冷、頭痛等症狀。症狀持續的話宜諮詢註冊中醫師治理。

Ginger tea to dispel cold
Cold pathogen is a common cause of illnesses in winter, and there are three major characteristics of cold pathogen. Firstly, it harms yang qi easily. You have aversion to cold and wind when invaded by cold pathogen. Secondly, it causes stagnation as qi, blood and fluid circulation can slow down when in contact with cold pathogen. Pain is usually caused by stagnation such as headache and sore neck. Thirdly, it causes shrinkage. Pores will close and skin will shrink when invaded by cold pathogen, so you will get chills and goosebumps. If the cold pathogen invades the spleen and stomach, it will result in poor fluid circulation of the spleen and stomach. Vomiting and diarrhea may occur. This diarrhea condition comes more quickly, the stool is watery, the odor is not heavy, and it is accompanied by abdominal bloating and pain.
To treat the invasion of cold pathogen, you need to warm the body and dispel cold. Appropriately consume foods that can dispel cold and warm the stomach, such as ginger tea, fried rice water and so on. Avoid eating cold/raw food such as sashimi, sushi, banana, pear, honey, watermelon to not aggravate the cold-wind symptoms. At the beginning of cold-wind flu, you can make ginger tea to relieve the symptoms. As ginger is warm in nature, it has the effect of promoting perspiration, dispelling cold, warming the body and relieving vomiting. It can relieve symptoms such as aversion to cold and headache due to cold-wind flu. If symptoms persist, you should consult a Chinese medicine practitioner.
