Asthma

 

There are four different conditions that are commonly diagnosed as asthma by modern physicians.

Spleen Deficiency that creates dampness in the lung, Liver Heat which scorches the lung, Lung Qi deficiency that consequents in lung weakness and finally
Kidney Qi deficiency which leave the lungs unable to grasp any Qi.

 

Spleen deficiency asthma is characterized by the presence of  mucous. It's called spleen deficiency, but has nothing to do with your actual spleen. Rather, it is caused by a constitutional or digestive deficiency which causes the body to hold on to water. The excess water forms mucous and often affects the lungs. This dampness can also affect the nose, sinuses, and large intestine, however the lungs are the favourite site for dampness to collect.

Liver Heat asthma can be identified by little phlegm, no phlegm, or thick green phlegm, this is caused by persistent heat in the body, usually from the Liver. It is referred to as Liver Heat Scorching the Lungs. Again this has nothing to do with your actual liver as heat is subject to external sources such as pollution, alcohol or drug ingestion, and emotional agitation (stress).

Lung Weakness is another cause of asthma which can be present from birth or as a result of the lung being damaged by cold or flu. Lung Weakness is sometimes accompanied by fatigue, shortness of breath, shallow breathing, heart palpitations, catching colds easily, and other signs of general debility.

 

Kidney Deficient Asthma can be identified with lower back pain, debility, weakness, or concurrent problems with the urinary, nervous, skeletal, or reproductive systems. This kind of asthma indicates low energy reserves. The Kidney is not able to supply the lungs with enough energy. The lungs, therefore, function poorly. This asthma will worsen when the sufferer gets tired or drained.
