Cold is treated with heat

寒者热之 〔寒者熱之〕hán zhě rè zhī

From Plain Questions (素问 sù wèn, zhì zhēn yào dà lùn). Use warm- or hot-natured medicines to treat cold patterns. For example, exterior cold is treated by resolving the exterior with warmth and acridity, while interior cold is treated by methods such as warming the center and dispersing cold or returning yáng and stemming counterflow.
