Asthma treatment with traditional Chinese medicine

Asthma, a common respiratory disease, is characterized by repeated attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or coughing. Traditional Chinese medicine provides patients with a unique and effective treatment path through syndrome differentiation and treatment.

TCM treatment of asthma focuses on individual differences and overall adjustment. Depending on the type and stage of asthma, Chinese medicine will use different treatment methods and drugs.

1. For asthma in the acute attack stage, Chinese medicine will treat specific symptoms. For those with phlegm-heat symptoms, Maxing Shigan Decoction is commonly used. The medicinal materials such as ephedra and almonds in this prescription can relieve coughs, expel phlegm and relieve asthma. For those with phlegm-dampness symptoms, Suzi Jiangqi Decoction is a good choice. The medicinal materials such as perilla and agarwood are helpful in resolving phlegm and relieving asthma.

2. During the asthma remission period, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on regulating the body and enhancing resistance. Tonifying the lungs, spleen, and kidneys are the focus of treatment during this period. For example, lung-tonifying medicines include Bufei Pills, spleen-tonifying medicines include Sijunzi Decoction, and kidney-tonifying medicines such as Zuogui Pills can help patients enhance organ function and reduce asthma attacks.

3. In addition to herbal decoctions, Chinese medicine also provides a variety of Chinese patent medicines for patients to choose from. Such as Jingzhi Ketanchuan Pills, Guilong Kechuanning Tablets and Ansou Huatan Pills, etc. These drugs have the effect of relieving cough, reducing phlegm and relieving asthma, and are suitable for asthma patients with different syndrome types.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes lifestyle adjustment. It is recommended that patients stay away from allergens such as pollen and dust mites and maintain good living habits. This is also an important measure to prevent asthma attacks.

5. It should be noted that TCM treatment of asthma needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors. Patients should choose appropriate drugs and treatment options based on their own conditions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine treats asthma with its unique theory and rich practical experience, providing patients with a gentle and effective treatment. Through reasonable drug selection and life adjustments, patients can effectively control asthma symptoms and improve their quality of life.
