During the season of cold weather and the continued presence of COVID-19, some people may suffer from persistent coughs and dry skin.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), lung nourishment is essential to avoid these cold weather ailments. Dr. Yu Ya-Wen, a Taiwanese TCM practitioner, told The Epoch Times about TCM’s lung nourishment approach and introduced a six-move stretching exercise based on TCM’s lung nourishment theory.
Nourish Your Lungs
TCM long ago discovered that there is a “meridian” system in the human body that is responsible for transporting “qi” and “blood” throughout the body. The two substances of qi and blood circulate to maintain balance and stability in various tissues and organs. When the meridian system is blocked, it will affect the transport of substances and allow abnormalities to appear in the body.
