Aversion to cold is a condition characterized by a heightened sensitivity or discomfort in response to cold temperatures. Individuals with this symptom often prefer warmer environments and may experience a persistent feeling of coldness that is difficult to alleviate. This sensation can be particularly pronounced in specific parts of the body, such as the back. Understanding the underlying causes of aversion to cold is crucial for effective treatment and management.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), aversion to cold is seen as a manifestation of internal disharmony. TCM practitioners believe that this condition can arise from various imbalances within the body, such as Deficiencies or Stagnation in the flow of Qi and Blood. Unlike Western medicine, which might focus on physiological causes like hypothyroidism or poor circulation, TCM emphasizes the importance of diagnosing the specific pattern of disharmony to tailor an effective treatment plan.
