With the arrival of fall, everyone knows that it’s time to start nourishing the lungs. Lungs are the most delicate internal organs, so we also have a few more points of care for it. However, the knowledge of lung care, not to mention the patient, even many doctors also exist more or less inadequate. Today’s article, we will introduce you to the common misconceptions of daily life in the lungs, I hope you can screen more in the future life, to do in mind. Myth 1: taking “anti haze products” can “wash lungs” In recent years, every fall and winter season, the haze days will come from time to time to “patronize” our lives, which makes people hate, pain, but can only endure. The, but can only endure. “When we can’t change our life, we try to change ourselves”, countless chicken soup for the soul tells us. So haze days we can easily accept in the circle of friends screen brush “9 kinds of food can prevent haze,” “you must know the 16 kinds of anti haze food,” and “Chinese medicine power – – an old Chinese medicine six flavors of anti-haze! -A old six flavors of anti haze tea”, or “pig’s blood, duck blood is the body’s scavenger, can invade the body of the harmful dust out of the body, it is recommended to eat more pig’s blood in the winter, duck blood, both gluttony and clear lungs …… “Such content, there are many more people forwarded, pushed to their friends and family to show the heart of care! From a doctor’s point of view, much of this content belongs to nonsense, I have read one of the most bizarre articles in my circle of friends, the content of which is an anti-haze formula: “20 grams of rosmarinus officinalis, 15 grams of umeboshi, 10 grams of lily of the valley, 10 grams of broad golden grass, 10 grams of rosmarinus officinalis, decoction water to drink as a substitute for tea, a few times a day.” It is said to have anti-haze, lung-clearing and anti-viral effects. But as long as people who know Chinese medicine know that this is only a cough and asthma, lowering the pressure of the formula. In addition to the circle of friends countless friendly recommendation, there are many restaurants to launch a variety of “health dishes”, said to eat can clear the lungs to prevent haze, most of these dishes to the lily, black fungus, white radish, duck blood, fungus, avocado, roselle fruit, etc., the advertisement is: you can be cleansing the lungs. These publicity is really shameful. The concept of “lung cleansing” comes from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). As I mentioned earlier, there is a difference between the “lungs” of TCM and the “lungs” of Western medicine, in TCM, the lungs are a system, which is the master of qi, the master of the water line, and can promote and regulate the fluid of the whole body. The lungs in TCM are a system that is responsible for the flow of qi and water, and can promote and regulate water and fluids throughout the body. In Chinese medicine, “clearing the lungs” generally refers to guiding the body’s clear qi to rise and the turbid qi to fall, pouring out lung heat and lung fire, and is commonly used in the treatment of coughs, phlegm and other upper respiratory tract diseases. And those so-called “wash lung food” “lung food” can only play to relieve cough, phlegm and other symptoms, and can not achieve the “wash” function! In addition, we need to remind you, Chinese medicine treatment is concerned about the evidence, health also need to evidence, more to be different from person to person. Health is a thing that needs to be consistent, a family of health also needs to be treated differently, because the family’s physical condition there is a great deal of variability. In a family, some people are weak, you need to eat warm food tonic, while some people are too hot, it is not suitable for long-term tonic warm food. So for their own health or for the family health, aimless, indiscriminate selection of drugs, food, will bring serious harm to the body. Here we need to remind everyone to pay attention to is that a lot of WeChat forwarded most of the anti-fog haze lung tea formula, which often contains Luo Han Guo, Lily, wide strychnine, Luobu Ma these several flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, but Luo Han Guo sex cold, easy to diarrhea should not be used; Lily sweet cold, cold hands and feet, chills, tiredness, tiredness, polyuria should not be used; wide strychnine is generally used for diuretics, have not been seen for clearing the lungs, lung disease should not be used; Luo Bu Ma more for lowering the lungs, lung disease patients The use of; rooibos is used to lower blood pressure, to clear the lungs did not see the effect and a certain degree of toxicity, do not recommend that patients with high blood pressure to take on their own. So in the consumption of these flavors of Chinese medicine commonly used in health care before you must consult a medical professional to see in the end is not suitable for you to take. Misconception 2: “Run the lung” as a lung believe that many people in the cough, themselves or their families will buy some lily, fungus, pear and other ingredients to make soup to make up for the lungs, which is only a slight cough for people may still have some effect on the old lung disease patients will be completely ineffective. Because the main function of this type of soup is to moisturize the lungs, and did not fundamentally solve the problem of patients with serious illnesses, this type of complementary formula for them is chicken ribs. The supplement should be supplemented in place, only then can be effective. When it comes to tonic lung, we have to mention the often need to supplement the lung disease patients prescribed the classic formula – tonic lung pill: 200 grams of ripened rhubarb, 100 grams of Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Astragali (honey-roasted) 100 grams, Sang Bai Pi (honey-roasted) 200 grams, Aster 100 grams, 80 grams of schizandra. It can be made into pills or other dosage forms and taken in appropriate amounts. This formula is beneficial to patients who need to tonify the lungs due to various causes, and the best thing is that the medicine is calm and can be used in moderation by children. However, I would like to remind everyone that although this formula is very good, the dosage may vary according to the patient’s illness, constitution and age, so it is necessary to have a professional doctor to consider the dosage for you before taking it. I would especially like to remind patients in need, do not read the prescription I recommended to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine to boil their own.
