Traditional Chinese medicine often says that the lungs are delicate viscera, but the body's qi is the main body, and the whole body's blood also flows through the lungs, and regulates the distribution and excretion of body water. Once the lung system is damaged, it is likely to injure the whole body.

Climate change is more likely to hurt the lungs

There are five fears of the lungs: fear of cold, fear of heat, fear of dampness, fear of dryness, and fear of dirt. During the changing seasons, the climate has a large temperature difference, the south is rainy, the north is more dry and hot, and the air quality is poor. It is easy to hurt the lungs between breathing. Some people have spicy and greasy tastes, and they like to smoke, which are more likely to hurt the lungs.

At this time, the symptoms of dry and itchy throat, cough and sputum are most likely to occur. Over time, the lungs lose nourishment, not only will gradually result in lung function decline, difficulty breathing, but unable to resist the invasion of external bacteria, viruses, dust mites and other harmful substances, is likely to aggravate rhinitis, asthma, lung edema, etc. Respiratory diseases, and even induce pneumonia, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, aggravate the risk of lung cancer .

Damage to the lungs, involving the whole body

In Chinese medicine, the lung is not just a lung, but a lung system. Once damaged, it may also cause acute attacks of various chronic diseases, involving the whole body.
