The arrival of the cold air mass makes everyone feel the change of autumn and winter, but the cold air is a big challenge for asthma patients, worried that the encounter with allergens will be serious asthma symptoms of airway twisting obstruction, Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that modern people on asthma, of course, will think of bronchodilator drugs, once sprayed to relieve symptoms, but these drugs can only be used as an emergency, can never become part of daily life!
Asthma patients should underst why the bronchial tubes will swell up, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, the reason is actually very similar to nasal congestion, because the lung’s heat dissipation function is very important, if there is not enough water vapor and heat, the bronchial tubes must be easy to swell up, of course, will produce bronchial stenosis and breathing difficulties, resulting in symptoms of asthma.
Modern medicine is advanced, but also caused a lot of sequelae, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, like many asthma patients often sprayed into the dilator, and even become a habitual action in life, long-term can only treat the symptoms but not cure the root cause, excessive use of this emergency medicine, and may even appear palpitations, irregular heartbeat, shaking hands and other side effects, once the attack is more serious, can not effectively relieve the symptoms, the consequences will be unimaginable, there is no shortage of such actual cases in the past.
Many people think that their symptoms will be relieved immediately after taking medication, but this is actually a very dangerous idea. It is important to protect the source of heat production in the body, and then to strengthen the maintenance of the body’s vitality, immunity and resistance system. If appropriate dietary regimen can be added according to the dialectical evidence of the disease to effectively improve the physique, the resistance will become better, and even the number of colds will be found to be significantly reduced, and the appetite will be much improved.
The human body cannot isolate all viruses and germs from the human body, so the only way to protect ourselves is to rely on our immune system to isolate the dust, pollen and dust mites around our lives, as well as sudden changes in temperature, or even going abroad to face a very different environment. The human life mechanism must be sound, said Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee. The Chinese medicine emphasizes that the root cause of the disease must be found, not the bronchial dilatation is called the treatment of asthma, asthma can be controlled, there is a good chance that it can be cured, is a very important concept.
