Chronic Cold-Pattern Depletion — A Classical Reading Beyond Simple ‘Fatigue’
A specific constitutional pattern — chronic cold-pattern depletion — is recognised in classical Chinese medicine: persistent cold sensitivity, cold extremities, reduced tolerance for cold environments, preference for warmth, typically associated fatigue and slowed function. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang works with patients in whom this pattern is clinically prominent.
Common Symptom Pattern
- ✓ Primary constitutional cold pattern (Pattern 1)
- ✓ Secondary to illness/medication (Pattern 2)
