Chapter 141 Persistent Cough Due to Cold Accumulation Leads to Difficult-to-Eliminate Lung
Suffering from chronic asthma, regulate Qi and dispel evil.
I. Suffering from asthma for many years
The warm spring sun spreads across the four courtyards of the medical clinic, and the branches and leaves in front of the courtyard sway gently in the wind. A panoramic aerial view slowly captures the bustling city life.
A middle-aged man walked heavily into the courtyard, his brows furrowed and his face full of sorrow.
"Doctor, I have been suffering from a chronic cough and asthma for many years, and I have been tormented by the pain day after day."
Zhou Deshan carefully examined the visitor's face, his brows slowly furrowing slightly.
"Your face is pale and dull, and your breathing is short and weak, which must mean that your lung energy has been depleted for a long time."
Xu Jingming took a half-step forward, listening intently to the patient's unsteady breathing.
"I often experience chest tightness and shortness of breath, and my cough and wheezing become even more severe in cold weather."
Lu Maoshan, who had just joined the sect, stood aside, observing with a calm and serious expression.
"When I traveled around practicing medicine, I saw many patients with similar coughs and asthma."
The man's chest rose and fell slightly, and he coughed and gasped intermittently every time he spoke.
"Over the years, I have sought medical treatment everywhere, and have been treated at all kinds of pharmacies, big and small."
"Each time I take the medicine, it can only temporarily suppress the surface cough symptoms."
"It recurs every few days, and the root cause can never be completely eradicated."
He suffered from chronic lung deficiency and cold, with pathogenic factors lurking deep within his lung meridians for a long time.
In the past, all doctors used the same approach to diagnosis and treatment: to stop the cough quickly.
Simply using lung-astringent and cough-suppressing herbs to forcibly suppress external symptoms.
Although the condition seems to be improving slowly in the short term, the underlying stagnation and pathogenic factors have not dissipated at all.
Prolonged and repeated suppression of the flow of Qi gradually depletes the original Qi of the lungs.
Over the years, what was originally a common cold and cough has turned into a stubborn chronic illness.
Chen Shanhe sat upright at the examination table, his gaze calmly examining the patient's overall physique.
"Your illness is not caused by a sudden cold or wind, but by years of stagnation of Qi, which has led to a stubborn condition."
Poems as proof:
Prolonged lying down can cause phlegm-cold to disturb the lungs and intestines.
Time passed by with coughs and wheezing.
Incompetent doctors only treat the surface symptoms.
It secretly harbors the root of evil and disease.
Second, folk doctors only treat the symptoms of illness.
Lu Maoshan raised his hand and slowly rubbed the calluses on his palm, a hint of emotion appearing in his eyes.
"In the past, when I traveled to the countryside to treat people with coughs and asthma, I was used to using old prescriptions."
Zhou Deshan nodded slightly, his expression calm as he saw through the common drawbacks of worldly medical practice.
"Most folk healers have a particularly simplistic and limited way of thinking about cough symptoms."
Xu Jingming pursed his lips slightly, his expression carrying a hint of helplessness.
"They only care about relieving the cough and pain in the short term, and never delve into the root cause of the disease."
The man slowly sat down on the wooden bench, his shoulders drooping slightly from exhaustion.
"Every doctor who treated me at the clinic told me that I could recover safely by taking the medicine."
"Year after year, we have been constantly decocting and taking medicine, which has cost us a lot of money and effort."
"In the end, the illness kept recurring, and the body became increasingly weak and frail."
The vast majority of internal medicine ailments such as cough and asthma are treated using these kinds of misconceptions.
People generally believe that coughing is just a minor ailment and there is no need to delve into the principles of Yin and Yang.
The doctor simply suppressed the lung qi and forcibly blocked the phlegm from being released.
It temporarily suppresses external symptoms, but in reality, it completely seals off the cold, dampness, and turbidity within the lung meridians.
The hidden cold evils accumulate and linger, constantly depleting the vital essence of the five internal organs.
The illness worsened year by year, turning a simple minor ailment into a lifelong chronic disease.
The entire street is quiet and peaceful, with the spring breeze gently drifting over the courtyard walls, and the aerial view stretching into the distance.
Worldly medical practices, with their shallow perspectives, have delayed the healthy development of countless ordinary people.
Chen Shanhe's gaze was calm and distant, and his voice was gentle as he revealed the key points.
"Forcibly suppressing a cough is a recipe for disaster in the process of recuperating; it may bring temporary peace, but it will only leave behind long-term hidden dangers."
Poems as proof:
A single remedy can temporarily relieve cough.
The obstructed flow of Qi leads to the condensation of turbid Qi.
A quick relief from the body's immediate suffering
This chronic illness developed from then on.
III. A detailed analysis of the root causes of lung meridian blockage
Chen Shanhe lightly touched the pulse on his wrist with his fingertips, calmly observing the rise and fall of blood vessels throughout his body.
"Your lung qi has always been weak, your middle qi is insufficient, and your defensive qi is unable to protect your muscles."
The man held his breath slightly, listening intently to the detailed analysis.
"I occasionally experience heart palpitations and shortness of breath, feel weak and fatigued all over, and become breathless after even slight exertion."
Zhou Deshan clearly and methodically dissected the underlying pathology, speaking with composure and grace.
"In the initial stage, it is just a slight cold entering the body, invading the skin, hair, lungs and blood vessels."
Xu Jingming continued speaking, his eyes bright and clear, revealing the change in the energy flow.
"If the cold air is not released in time, it will stagnate in the chest and diaphragm, causing an imbalance in the rise and fall of Qi."
Lü Maoshan devoted himself to understanding the new dialectical approach, and his mind continued to broaden his horizons.
"In the past, I could only see phlegm and turbidity obstructing the flow of qi, but I didn't understand the principles of qi rising and falling at all."
Among the five internal organs of the human body, the lungs are responsible for the circulation and dispersal of Qi throughout the body.
If the flow of qi between the upper and lower body is obstructed, pent-up emotions will accumulate in the chest and not dissipate.
The phlegm, cold and stagnant, intertwines and clings to the gaps in the meridians, accumulating and becoming deeply rooted day by day.
A superficial cough can be temporarily suppressed, but the pathogenic factors hidden deep within the meridians cannot be resolved.
Over time, the lung yang gradually declines, and the body becomes increasingly cold and unable to resist external invasion.
From now on, whenever the seasons change, or when it is rainy or cold, my old illness will definitely relapse immediately.
All chronic respiratory diseases that cannot be cured over the years share the same underlying cause.
It's never that the disease is stubborn and difficult to treat; it's always been a problem of the treatment approach being wrong.
Chen Shanhe slowly withdrew his fingers from the pulse-taking position, his expression solemn as he began to speak.
"To eradicate chronic asthma, the first step is to clear the blockages in the body's Qi."
Poems as proof:
The lungs govern the upward and downward movement of Qi.
Cold stagnation obstructs the flow of qi and blood, making it difficult to clear.
Phlegm is hidden in the meridians.
It was a chronic illness that had plagued him for years.
IV. Regulating Qi and Strengthening the Foundation
Chen Shanhe stood upright and composed, devising a complete and sound treatment strategy.
"This treatment should not be rushed or rushed, and strong, bitter, or cold medicines should not be used rashly."
Zhou Deshan bowed respectfully and listened attentively, clearly noting down the core principles of the diagnosis and treatment.
"First, gently clear the stagnant qi in the chest and diaphragm, and slowly open up the entire lung meridian."
Xu Jingming's gaze was firm as he followed his master's teachings to clarify the order of treatment.
"First, disperse the accumulated cold and turbid phlegm, then warm and nourish the deficient lung yang."
Lu Maoshan carefully kept in mind the proper treatment of internal medicine ailments and enriched his own knowledge.
"Treatment should proceed gradually, resolving the issues step by step, just like the indirect approach used to treat bone diseases."
Chen Shanhe nodded slightly, explaining that the principles of military strategy in treating illness apply to all kinds of ailments.
"The principles of slowing down and overcoming stubbornness, and softening and resolving stagnation, are applicable to all chronic and intractable diseases."
First, clear the blocked Qi flow, allowing the stagnant Qi that has been suppressed in the chest to be released naturally.
It slowly dissolves the solidified phlegm and gradually dispels the layers of accumulated cold that have seeped into the bones.
Once the lung meridians are fully unblocked and smooth, then gently nourish and strengthen the body's foundation and vital energy.
It repairs damaged lung qi from the inside out, replenishing the vital energy depleted over the years.
Do not suppress the symptoms of cough and wheezing; follow the body's natural metabolic processes.
Only by following the body's detoxification process can one completely eradicate the root cause of long-standing illnesses.
A long-lost hope appeared in the man's eyes, and his expression was full of emotion.
"After years of being lost and seeking medical help in vain, I have finally met someone who truly understands the ways of medicine."
A gentle evening breeze enveloped the elegant medical clinic, where the path of medicine stretched slowly and far.
The four disciples worked together to understand the principles of healing and diligently cultivated their compassionate hearts.
Poems as proof:
Slowly regulate the Qi and dispel the cold stagnation.
Soften the chronic illness without forcing it.
Strengthen the foundation, support the vital energy, and eliminate old problems.
A gentle breeze soothes the lungs and brings peace to the body.
