辨证求因 seeking cause of disease through differentiation of syndromes 六淫是风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火的总称 The six exogenous factors are a general term for wind, cold, summer-heat, damp, dryness and fire 正常情况下，它们是六种气候因素，中医称为“六气”。 The six exogenous factors are a general term for wind, cold, summer-heat, damp, dryness and fire. Under normal conditions, they are six climatic factors. TCM calls them the six qi. 内生五邪即:内风、内寒、内湿、内燥、内火 five endogenous pathogens :the endogenous wind, endogenous cold, endogenous dampness, endogenous dryness and endogenous fire The pathogenic features of the six exogenous pathogens (l) The six exogenous pathogens have close relationships with the seasonal changes and living environment. 例如，风邪致病多在春季；暑邪致病通常在夏季；暑邪致病通常发生在夏至后；燥邪致病多在秋季；寒邪致病见于冬季。 For example, diseases caused by wind-pathogen mostly occur in spring; summer-heat diseases usually appear in summer; damp diseases often happen in later summer, dry diseases arise most often in autumn and cold diseases are often seen in winter. The pathogenic features of the six exogenous pathogens (2) The six exogenous pathogens may singly invade the body by a single pathogen and simultaneously and invade the body by more than two pathogen. 如，普通感冒通常由风寒之邪所致；泻泄由湿热之邪所致；风寒湿夹杂而致痹症等。 For example, common cold results frequently from pathogenic wind and cold; diarrhea is caused by pathogenic dampness and heat; bi-syndrome (arthralgia) is caused by pathogenic wind, cold and dampness and so on. The pathogenic features of the six exogenous pathogens (3) They may be transformed into each other. 例如，体内寒邪可化热，暑湿可以化火化燥伤阴。 Examples are: pathogenic cold in the body may be transformed into heat and prolonged summer-heat dampness may bring about dryness and fire to impair yin. The pathogenic features of the six exogenous pathogens (4) The last feature of the six exogenous pathogens is that they invade the human body via the body surface or from the mouth and nose or through both concurrently. 这就是“外感六淫” This is known as affection
