Why do we need to nourish the lungs in autumn? The lungs are the main source of qi, and are responsible for breathing and opening the nose. According to Chinese medicine, autumn is corresponding to the lung, dryness and cold are most likely to hurt the lungs; chronic diseases of the respiratory system also recur in the late autumn when the weather is colder, so autumn health care is mainly to nourish the lungs. 1, autumn lung care in line with the natural essence of the internal gathering of natural Yang will be declining, Yin cold day, rain gradually less, dry weather, autumn breeze, nature will present a depressed scene. ”Dryness” is the main qi of autumn, with its weather constantly slaughtering and lack of moisture in the air, resulting in a cool and dry autumn climate. At this time, the human skin mucous membrane moisture evaporates faster, autumn health should be in line with the natural convergence of the momentum, collection of Yin, so that the essence of internal gathering, in order to nourish the five organs, should prevent too much labor injury, so as to avoid the leakage of Yin, because excessive labor injury makes people sweat too much, resulting in the dissipation of Jin Qi. According to the five elements, the lungs in the five viscera correspond to the natural autumn, and the lungs are responsible for the skin and hair, and open to the nose. Therefore, external dryness mostly enters from the skin, mouth and nose, and the disease often starts from the lung. Yin deficiency internal dryness is mostly caused by the deficiency of Yin essence in the organism. Why do we need to nurture the lungs in autumn 2, autumn dryness is prone to cough prevention and long cough injury to the lungs Dryness is prone to injury to the lungs, prone to cough or dry cough without phlegm, dry mouth and tongue and other symptoms. Lung fluid injury is seen in dry mouth, dry tongue, sore throat, astringent eyes, nose bleeding, dry cough with little phlegm, rough skin, dry stools and other symptoms. Cough is a symptom that is often caused by external cold, heat or dryness. However, as mentioned in the Nei Jing, “all five viscera and six internal organs cause coughing, not only the lungs”, indicating that internal causes can also lead to coughing, with the lungs, spleen and kidneys in particular being the most closely related. A short-lived external cough does not necessarily hurt the lungs, but a prolonged cough will definitely hurt the lungs. Therefore, during the autumn season, attention should be paid to nourishing the lungs and preventing autumn dryness from hurting the lungs, so that the lungs can be clear and breathe calmly, so that the way to nourish the harvest can be grasped. 3, autumn wind, autumn rain, worrying people withering mood to prevent injury to the lungs Autumn wind, autumn rain, fallen leaves, bleak, often give people a stern atmosphere, especially when the weather changes suddenly, people worry. Therefore, the focus of autumn emotional health is to avoid sad emotions, so that their mental state always remain optimistic and happy. The stimulation of undesirable emotions affects the physical and mental health of the human body; while maintaining optimistic and positive emotions, adjusting the qi and calming the mind, can make the upper and lower qi of the human body pass through, which can improve the physiological function of the lungs to resist the invasion of the sanguine qi of autumn.
