Why do I get a rash when I sweat and get blown by the wind?

If you don't pay attention to keeping warm on a daily basis and are attacked by cold wind when sweating, it may cause wheals on your skin. This phenomenon is urticaria, which often causes itchy skin and red bumps, which sometimes connect together and feel scary. Generally, with increased care, urticaria will disappear on its own within a short period of time. Of course, for people with allergic constitution, timely treatment is required, such as using Guizhi Decoction, which is still very effective.

Why do I get a rash when I sweat and get blown by the wind?

For some people, the itching will go away automatically after a period of time, while for others, it will reappear and cause itching all day long, seriously affecting their work and life. Western medicine will use anti-allergic drugs for treatment, while traditional Chinese medicine will classify it and then treat it accordingly. The first thing to distinguish is cold and heat. Some urticaria becomes more severe when exposed to heat, and the hotter it is, the more severe it is. This may be a heat syndrome, and Chinese medicine will use methods such as cooling blood and detoxifying to treat it. There is another type, which becomes serious when encountering cold, for example, washing with cold water will become serious, and it will become serious when the wind is slightly cool. This is mostly a cold symptom. Generally speaking, there are more cold symptoms than heat symptoms.

Patients with this type of urticaria often get tired easily, become breathless with the slightest movement, have a pale complexion that is not rosy enough, sweat easily with the slightest exercise, are usually afraid of wind and cold, are prone to catching colds, often lack energy, and get tired easily.

My experience in conditioning is to use Guizhi Decoction.

It is the first prescription in the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" written by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. It was called "the best of Zhongjing's prescriptions" in ancient times. The current dosage of this prescription is roughly: nine grams of cinnamon twig, nine grams of white peony root, six grams of roasted licorice, three slices of ginger, and six jujubes (broken apart).

In fact, there are only three medicinal herbs in it, namely cinnamon twig, white peony root and roasted licorice. The remaining ginger and jujube can be bought by yourself in the market.

The combination is very simple, but the method of taking it is very particular.

After the water is boiled, the first thing to do is to take it in a "appropriate temperature" and "after taking it for a while, sip hot porridge". That is to say, after drinking the medicine, you should also drink a bowl of hot porridge. This is to use the essence of water and grain to nourish the middle burner. It will not only make it easier to sweat, but also make the external evil go away quickly without recurring. This is very important. If you don't take this bowl of porridge, the effect will be much worse. Then, you need to "keep warm for an hour," which means put on clothes to warm your body. This is also to avoid wind and promote sweating. Be careful not to go out at this time. If you are blown by cold wind, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

The prescription of Guizhi Decoction is extremely effective for treating cold urticaria. A few days ago, one of my middle school classmates suddenly called me and said that his wife was suffering from this disease and was in great pain. She took Guizhi Decoction and was cured after three doses.
