Respiratory Diseases from the Perspective of TCM
Respiratory diseases in TCM, such as asthma, COPD, and chronic bronchitis, are treated through holistic therapy. This includes the use of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, with individually tailored herbal formulations created to address the specific needs of patients. As a supportive measure, Qi Gong can be used to enhance lung function. The Chinese movement therapy combines breathing exercises, gentle movements, and meditation to harmonize the balance of Qi in the body and strengthen the respiratory system.
Read here a clinical study on the treatment of asthma with Chinese herbal medicine, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Bronchi from the Perspective of TCM
Bronchial asthma
Asthma bronchial has various causes in TCM, depending on whether the breathing difficulty occurs during inhalation or exhalation. Generally, the cause lies in the miscommunication between the Lung Meridian and the Kidney Meridian.
Bronchitis, chronic bronchitis
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), bronchitis is understood as the invasion of a pathogenic factor, such as wind-cold or wind-heat, into the respiratory system. It is emphasized that the disorder is caused by an imbalance in the body’s energetic forces, and the treatment aims to restore this balance and the normal function of the respiratory system.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a condition that involves the abnormal widening of the bronchial tubes in the lungs, leading to an accumulation of mucus and increased risk of infection. Chinese medicine treats bronchiectasis as a chronic accumulation of phlegm or phlegm-heat in the lungs.
Nose / Sinus cavaties from the Perspective of TCM
Polyps
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), polyps are viewed as an accumulation of phlegm that disrupts the balance of the body’s energetic forces. Therefore, TCM therapy aims to „disperse“ the accumulation of phlegm and restore the disrupted balance. This is often achieved through the use of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, which support the regulation of energy flow and the harmonization of bodily functions.
Sinusitis
Sinusitis is understood as a manifestation of Wind Heat or Wind Cold. In severe cases, additional excess patterns may be present, such as Lung Heat, Liver or Gallbladder Fire, or Heat in the Spleen and Stomach. Additionally, there is often a deficiency in the Spleen organ system, which predisposes the individual to dampness and phlegm.
