Acupressure for cough treatment

Winter is the season when coughs are common, and they come over and over again without end. Coughs are often accompanied by phlegm, which makes them particularly uncomfortable. There are many causes of coughing, and there are many treatment methods, but the effects are not very good. Acupoint massage can solve this problem very well. So, what are the methods of acupoint massage to treat cough? Let’s find out through the following content!

In autumn and winter, cough and asthma patients feel like they are in a nightmare. They treat the disease every year, but the disease recurs every year. The cough is endless, the chest and lungs are in pain like a needle, the phlegm is stuck in the trachea, and the wheezing makes the lips turn blue, the fingertips numb, and the heartbeat accelerates... In fact, the factors that cause cough and asthma are very complicated, but one phenomenon is very common, that is, the symptoms will be aggravated in autumn and winter, and even recur, which has a lot to do with the season.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are responsible for breathing and are connected to the cold and dry air from the outside. When the human body is attacked by cold air and cold wind, the already damaged trachea and alveoli are further damaged, making respiratory diseases such as cough, chronic bronchitis and asthma, and influenza most likely to occur. In severe cases, people may even experience shortness of breath and chest tightness, shortness of breath and dizziness after a little activity, and may also develop complications such as emphysema and cor pulmonale. In fact, cough and cough are two different symptoms. Simply put, cough is with sound but no phlegm, and cough is with phlegm but no sound. In clinical practice, phlegm and sound are often seen together and are difficult to separate, so they are collectively called cough.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "all the internal organs can cause coughing", so coughing is a very common symptom. However, even if they are all coughs, the symptoms are not the same. Some have dry coughs without phlegm, some have coughs with yellow phlegm, some are accompanied by itchy and sore throats, and some are accompanied by ringing in the throat, which in turn triggers asthma.

Coughing with yellow sputum indicates lung heat. The acupoints chosen must of course have the effect of relieving lung heat. Yuji is the Ying point of the hand Taiyin lung meridian, and Shaoshang is the Jing point of the hand Taiyin lung meridian. Both points have the effect of relieving lung heat.

Through the introduction above, I believe you are already very clear about the methods of acupoint massage to treat cough! Acupoint massage can effectively solve cough, but it requires you to persist for a long time, so that the effect will be more obvious. In normal times, you should also pay attention to your body, do not eat cold food, and do not eat spicy food often. This can effectively prevent coughing.
