Prevent exogenous cough when the weather is cold

Cough is found in both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, but cough is a symptom in western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a symptom, but also a major symptom. Yin and Yang, cold and heat and deficiency can be distinguished from coughing and expectoration. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered that coughing is caused by lung loss and adverse sound, but due to different etiology and individual differences, the pathogenesis and development of different people will be different and ever-changing.

Now the weather has gradually turned cooler, if people with lung disease have varying degrees of skin feeling wind, cold and cause discomfort, because the lung is the main fur, covered in the body surface, people with lung disease lack of lung qi, or even very weak, so the more cool people feel, the more deficiency of lung qi, the more likely to catch a cold and cough, forming a vicious circle This is one of the exogenous coughs in traditional Chinese medicine.

In traditional Chinese medicine, cough is divided into two systems: exogenous cough and internal injury cough. Exogenous cough is characterized in traditional Chinese medicine. In healthy people, exogenous cough is mostly superficial and empirical, which is characterized by large amount of sputum, heavy cough, high fever and so on. From the sputum, cold, heat, wind and other external evil can be distinguished, such as clear sputum, many surface cold congested, if it is yellow thick sputum, it is hot evil, sputum is mixed with foam, mostly mixed with atmosphere, the more foam, the more atmosphere.

Wind-cold evil, is the current climate will be more and more enhanced trend, so healthy people should not be cool, do a good job of cold, wind protection. Although there is the saying of "covering in spring and freezing in autumn", for the elderly, or middle-aged people who have already suffered from diseases (diseases other than lung diseases), they should also actively prevent the cold and keep warm, because the vital qi will be weakened after a cold, and it is easy to cause a relapse of old diseases. Patients with lung diseases need to be more cold-proof, cold-proof, eat more moisturizing food, strengthen exercise, and prevent and treat diseases.
