TCM Health Care Series for the Elderly | How to Use TCM to Treat and Rehabilitate Chronic Cough and Asthma in the Elderly

In daily life, some patients have symptoms of chronic cough accompanied by asthma to varying degrees, which is particularly prominent in the elderly. With the increase of age, a slight increase in exercise or contact with smoke and dust or exposure to wind and cold will cause cough and asthma to worsen, which has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, "the lungs are combined with skin and fur" and are the canopy, which is located in the outermost layer of the body. Once an external evil invades, the lungs are disturbed first. Internal and external evils accumulate in the lungs. The lungs are driven out of the evil, so the lung qi goes up, impacts the glottis and causes coughing. Coughing can be seen as a physiological reflex of self-protection and expelling evil. If the evil qi is not removed, the evil qi in the lungs is congested, and the lung qi is difficult to descend and goes up. The physiological rhythm of breathing is broken and shortness of breath occurs. So, how can chronic cough and asthma in the elderly be treated with traditional Chinese medicine? What are the ways to recover?

Chen Xiaohong, director of the Department of Geriatrics at Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, will be a guest on Kangxiang Silver Age's online live broadcast, where he will talk about "How to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat and rehabilitate chronic cough and asthma in the elderly".
