Autumn, the harvest season, is also a time of high incidence of many diseases, especially cough. I believe that many people have had this experience, and when it comes to autumn, they cough frequently, which makes people miserable. So, what's really going on with the autumn cough? What are the treatment methods of Chinese medicine? Today, I will reveal the truth about autumn cough and share some tips for TCM conditioning.
The Truth About Autumn Cough.
Autumn cough is mostly caused by these 3 reasons:
1.Dryness hurts the lungs: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dryness in autumn is easy to hurt the lungs. The lungs are delicate and dirty, and once they are attacked by dryness, it will lead to a lack of yin in the lungs, which will cause coughing.
2.Wind evil attack on the lungs: In autumn, the weather becomes cooler, the body's immunity decreases, and it is easy to be attacked by wind evil. Wind attacks the lungs, causing disharmony in the lungs, which can also cause coughing.
3.Cough from internal injury: In autumn, people's appetite increases, and they are prone to overeating, or excessive consumption of spicy and greasy food, which leads to damage to the function of the spleen and stomach, and internal dampness and heat, which offend the lungs and cause cough.
Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning methods.
Now that we know the causes of cough in autumn, let's talk about the conditioning methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine regulates cough in autumn, mainly using the following methods:
1.Traditional Chinese medicine**: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough in autumn should nourish yin and moisten the lungs, dispel wind and relieve cough. Here I would like to share with you an ancient recipe - Lily Gujin Soup. The formula is composed of lily, rehmannia root, wheat winter, white peony, angelica, fritillaria, bellflower and licorice, which has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
2.Dietary therapy: Patients with cough in autumn can eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, such as white fungus, lily, lotus seeds, honey, etc. At the same time, spicy, greasy, and hot foods should be avoided.
3.Acupressure: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging the lung meridians and back Yu acupoints can effectively relieve cough. The main acupuncture points of the lung meridian include Zhongfu, Kongji, Taiyuan, etc.; The acupuncture points of the back Yu include lung Yu, liver Yu, kidney Yu and so on.
4.Daily life: In autumn, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold; Keep indoor air moist and avoid dryness; Arrange your work and rest time reasonably to avoid overwork.
Epilogue. Although autumn cough is painful, it can be effectively relieved as long as you understand its cause and take appropriate treatment methods. I hope this article can help you and keep you away from coughing this fall.
