With each season, the climate can impact upon our health, the exogenous pathogenic factors are known as the six evils:
- Wind (feng)
- Cold (han)
- Heat (re)
- Dampness (shi)
- Dryness(zao)
- Fire (huo)
These evils can bring disease they are also essential to life, no wet season and there no crops, no summer sun, and the crops will not ripen. However if the six evils become excessive or abnormally extreme or of the body is weakened the body's inner balance will lead to ill health.
