The heading "Sanatorium doctor recommends" The role of Chinese medicine in the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases

Published by : Милана

Bronchopulmonary diseases remain one of the most common problems of modern society. Frequent colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma and chronic lung diseases significantly reduce the quality of life and require a comprehensive approach to treatment. In this context, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) occupies a special place, complementing and enhancing the capabilities of modern medicine.

Chinese medicine considers the respiratory system not in isolation, but in close relationship with the general condition of the body. The lungs in TCM are responsible not only for breathing, but also for the body's protective energy, immunity, and fluid metabolism. That is why, in the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases, attention is paid not only to eliminating symptoms, but also to restoring internal balance.

The main methods of Chinese medicine are herbal medicine, acupuncture, warming up (moxotherapy), breathing practices and lifestyle recommendations. Herbal formulas are selected individually and are aimed at relieving inflammation, removing mucus, strengthening the lungs and increasing the body's defenses. Acupuncture improves lung ventilation, reduces cramps, relieves coughing and shortness of breath, and accelerates recovery processes.

Chinese medicine is of particular value for chronic and often recurrent diseases of the respiratory system. It helps to reduce the frequency of exacerbations, reduce dependence on medications and increase the body's resistance to infections. At the same time, TCM methods are well combined with modern medical approaches and can be used both during exacerbation and for prevention.

The comprehensive and individual approach of Chinese medicine allows not only to treat bronchopulmonary diseases, but also to work with their root causes, strengthening the patient's health in the long term.
