Asthma refers to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, sputum production, and chest tightness that are prone to relapse and worsen in the cold winter season, such as chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

There is a difference in the understanding of asthma between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Asthma in western medicine mainly refers to allergic bronchial asthma. Asthma in traditional Chinese medicine is a broad category and refers to what is seen clinically. A syndrome of symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, phlegm, and wheezing.

Why should asthma that is prone to occur in winter be treated in summer?

Clinically, about 80% of asthma patients have Yang deficiency constitution. Patients with so-called yang deficiency cough up frothy phlegm and have poor body resistance. External evil spirits can easily invade the lungs through the fur. Summer happens to be the time when Yang Qi is at its strongest, and it is the best time to regulate Yang Qi during this period. Preventing and treating diseases in summer can prevent winter onset.
