Why people make this soup

When the weather turns cold and flu is going around, wind-cold colds are easy to catch — and some people get a headache that comes and goes, worsens in a draft, and arrives with chills, a stuffy nose or clear runny nose. Nourilo shares this classic pairing of chuanxiong and baizhi, two warm, aromatic herbs traditionally used for exactly this kind of cold-wind headache, with egg cooked in to take the edge off their drying nature.
