How does TCM regulate the five organs to cure asthma?

There used to be an old folk saying that surgery does not treat ringworm and internal medicine does not treat asthma. Through the literal meaning, it can be seen that both diseases are difficult to treat.

He Ming, a special expert in Chinese medicine at Dongcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that with the progress and development of medical technology, the treatment of asthma has come a long way.

Asthma is a symptom. Among the many diseases that cause it, the most common ones are bronchial asthma and slow-onset lung. The incidence of bronchial asthma has been gradually increasing, and there are currently at least 300 million people worldwide and at least 30 million people with asthma in China. The onset of allergic asthma is closely related to environmental factors. Most patients are allergic and have previous allergies to pollen, dust mites, pet dander, etc. Some people are allergic to certain foods, such as grains, flour, seafood, etc. Some people are also allergic to medications. In addition to external factors, most patients have non-negligible pathogenesis as genetic factors, and the majority of patients can trace their history of asthma or other allergic rhinitis or allergic skin disease back through several generations of relatives.

Allergic asthma mainly manifests as paroxysmal coughing, coughing, and wheezing, with most symptoms worsening at night, with more attacks in the early morning and milder symptoms during the day. Due to the strong exacerbation and recurrence, asthma patients with poorly controlled asthma usually have an impact on their daily work and daily life, which can not only lead to limited movement, but also make the quality of life decline, leading to missed work and school, and bring economic burden to the life of individuals and family members. If there is a sudden and severe acute attack, it may be fatal if not treated in time.

He Ming has been practicing medicine for fifty years and has rich experience in treating asthma. She said that Chinese medicine has a history of several thousand years in treating asthma. Chinese medicine has a rich content of treatment methods for asthma, including evidence-based treatment from different causes, secret prescriptions, experimental prescriptions, and compress therapy.

After years of clinical research, He Ming believes that the onset of asthma is an important factor in the development of asthma, in addition to the traditional understanding of the persistent phlegm in the lungs, and that the wind evil offending the lungs is an important factor in the development of asthma. Therefore, the weakness and dysfunction of the internal organs and the mutual obstruction of wind, phlegm, and stasis in the body are important factors in the recurrence of asthma. Therefore, in the treatment, we should not treat asthma when we see wheezing and coughing, but carefully identify the evidence, according to the different causes of asthma “phlegm, wind, deficiency, and stasis” and different constitution, and identify the evidence from the internal organs, according to the different conditions of each person, some treat from the spleen, some from the liver, and some from the kidney.
