  • TCM Evils otherwise known as the 6 Pernicious Influences are External causes of disease according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

  • Due to overexposure they invade the body and cause disharmony.

  • They can be Exterior or Interior.

  • They may invade alone or in combination, usually through the mouth, nose, or skin - or in the case of Wind the nape of the neck.

  • Wind, Damp, Cold, Dry, and Summer Heat have a seasonal association and have a relationship with a specific organ.

  • Wind, Dryness, Summer-Heat, and Fire are Yang pathogenic factors, which injure Yin.

  • Cold and Dampness are Yin pathogenic factors, which injure Yang.

  • They always correspond to a Full pattern but may be associated with a Deficiency.

  • An Evil can give rise to Deficiency or a Deficiency can give rise to an Evil.

  • There are many different patterns of disharmony associated with the 6 Evils, in which case symptoms, tongue appearance, and pulses would all vary accordingly - there are simply too many to list in this chart.

  • Symptoms, tongue appearance, and possible pulses listed in the chart are all general unless otherwise stated.
