In TCM, early wind-cold often shows as recent aversion to cold, a runny nose with transparent discharge, and mild headache or body ache. This kitchen tea simmers spring onion with roots, ginger, and dark brown sugar for about 10 minutes. Sip it warm. Educational food therapy, not a substitute for a physician visit or urgent care.
