✵Wind-damp syndrome: an exterior syndrome marked by chills and fever, aching joints, heaviness in the head as if it were tightly bound, and white greasy tongue coating.
✦Syndrome of wind-damp attack to the exterior: same as wind-damp syndrome.
✦Syndrome of external invasion of wind-damp: same as wind-damp syndrome.
✦Syndrome of wind-damp invading the head: a syndrome marked by headache as if the head was tightly bound, slight aversion to wind and cold, heavy feeling in the body and limbs, stuffy sensation in the chest, anorexia, white slippery tongue coating, and soggy pulse.
✦Syndrome of wind-dryness attack to the exterior: a syndrome marked by mild fever, aversion to wind and cold, headache, no sweating, dry nose and throat, thirst, and floating pulse.
✵Excess-cold syndrome: a general term for syndromes caused by excessive cold pathogen.
✦Syndrome of cold stagnating in the stomach and intestines: a syndrome marked by severe epigastric and abdominal pain with cold sensation, alleviated by warmth, vomiting, watery diarrhea, aversion to cold with cool limbs, white tongue coating, and wiry tense pulse.
✦Syndrome of cold stagnating in the heart vessels: a syndrome marked by pectoral pain aggravated by cold and alleviated by warmth, white tongue coating, and sunken and slow or tense pulse.
✦Syndrome of cold congealing in the uterus: a syndrome marked by cold and pain in the lower abdomen, dysmenorrhea or delayed periods with dark menstrual discharge, white tongue coating, and sunken and tense pulse.
✦Syndrome of cold stagnating in the meridians: a syndrome marked by aversion to cold, pain and cold feeling in the limbs with contracture or numbness and purple or pale discoloration of the skin, white tongue coating, and wiry and tense pulse.
✵Summer-heat syndrome: a general term for fire- or heat-natured syndromes that only occur in the season of summer and are caused by summer-heat.
✦Syndrome of summer-damp attack to the exterior: a syndrome marked by fever, slight aversion to wind and cold, heavy sensation in the body, lassitude, thirst, reddened tongue with yellowish coating, and rapid soggy pulse.
✦Syndrome of summer-heat damage to fluid and Qi: a syndrome marked by fever, sweating, severe thirst, vexation, flushed face, lassitude, shortness of breath, scanty dark urine, reddened tongue with dry yellow coating, and big floating but weak pulse.
✦Syndrome of summer-heat blocking Qi activity: a syndrome marked by sudden fainting with fever, cold limbs, dyspnea, and trismus.
✦Syndrome of summer-heat blocking mental activity: a syndrome marked by high fever, severe thirst, sudden fainting with loss of consciousness and trismus, sunken and hidden pulse.
✵Damp syndrome: a general term for syndromes caused by pathogenic damp which may come from the external environment or may be derived from within the body owing to abnormal transportation and transformation of fluid.
✦Exterior damp syndrome: synonymous with wind-damp syndrome.
✦Damp-heat accumulating in the spleen syndrome: a syndrome marked by abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, heavy sensation in the limbs, or jaundice, reddened tongue with yellow greasy coating, and rapid soggy pulse.
✦Down-pouring damp-heat syndrome: a syndrome marked by frequent and painful urination, or yellow fetid discharge from the vagina, or ulceration of the leg with purulent discharge.
