We live in the air every day without feeling its existence, although we cannot survive without air and water.

　　Lungs, our delicate and soft breathing organs, breathe in fresh air carrying oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide for our bodies every day, the importance of which is self-evident.

　　If one day, the lungs become stiff, unable to relax, and have difficulty breathing, what will happen?

　　Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, commonly known as pulmonary fibrosis, that is between the alveoli Inflammation of the tissues leads to fibrosis. After the loss of the elastic function of the lungs, the expansion and contraction of the lungs and respiratory function decline. Pulmonary fibrosis is called "cancer" that is not cancer. Patients generally die within 3-5 years of diagnosis. The three-year survival rate is less than half, and the five-year survival rate is less than 1/3.

　　The initial symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are not obvious and are easily overlooked. Early symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis: early acute attacks, fever caused by cold infection, shortness of breath, chest tightness, suffocation, general fatigue, joint pain, etc. symptom. It is easy to be neglected as a cold and should be taken seriously.

　　Pulmonary fibrosis is mainly caused by two aspects:

　　Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, without any cause, is still a treatment problem in the world.

　　Pulmonary fibrosis is developed from immune system diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, Sjogren''s syndrome and so on.

　　Pulmonary fibrosis patients have fever, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and suffocation during acute attacks. Some patients with hormones in Western medicine can basically recover. Most patients who are insensitive to hormones can choose Chinese medicine + external treatment. Good treatment effect. Pulmonary fibrosis is called lung atrophy in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is divided into deficiency heat type and deficiency cold type.

　　 Deficiency heat type mostly manifests as cough, wheezing, vomiting spitting saliva foam, that is, thicker sputum, irritability, five upset fever, insomnia, dreams and other symptoms of yin deficiency internal heat. The treatment principle of deficiency heat type is to nourish yin, clear heat and lungs, and generally use bamboo leaf gypsum soup. Bamboo leaves clear heat, nourish lung yin, ginseng nourishes lung qi, nourishes lung yin, Pinellia relieves cough and phlegm.

　　The cold type mostly manifests as coughing, wheezing, spitting thin sputum, cold limbs, cold back, chills, backache and sore legs. The principle of treatment is to warm the lungs, disperse cold, nourish qi, resolve phlegm and cough, and choose Gancao Ganjiang Decoction. Licorice, ginseng supplement qi, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, and jujube are all warm lung, spleen, water, dry ginger to disperse cold in the middle of temperature, according to the patient''s physical condition in clinical addition and subtraction.

　　I share with you two health care methods that can replace tea for daily use, aiming at deficiency of cold and heat.

　　 Wolfberry, Ophiopogon japonicus, Radix Ginseng, Schisandra chinensis. Wolfberry nourishing kidney, Ophiopogon japonicus and Adenophora can tonify qi and nourish yin, Schisandra has the effect of astringent lung qi, suitable for the daily health care of people with heat deficiency.

Combination of medlar, orange peel, coltsfoot flower, and licorice can nourish the kidney, strengthen the spleen, reduce phlegm, and achieve the effect of warming the lungs and dispersing cold.

　　In addition to internal treatment, lung diseases can also be treated externally, that is, internal Chinese medicine conditioning + external Chinese medicine cupping, Chinese medicine acupoint sealing, hot compress, Chinese medicine fumigation, etc., can play a very good therapeutic effect . The principle is that fumigation causes the skin to be vented, the drug penetrates the skin, promotes the blood circulation of the lungs on the surface of the lungs, promotes the absorption of inflammatory cells, softens the blood vessels of the lungs, and improves the symptoms. The person with Dumai''s qi and the people with cold lungs should strengthen the Dumai and improve the body''s yang.

　　Fumigation and acupoint injection mainly select the points of bladder meridian or Dumai, such as lung acupoint, heart acupoint, diaphragm acupoint, and Dingchuan acupoint.
