TCM treatment of emphysema

summary

I used to have a history of shortness of breath. A few days ago, the weather was short and severe. I had a CT scan of my lung. It showed that my left lung was emphysema and bronchiectasis. After taking medicine for a period of time, my condition was well controlled. Let's talk about the method of treating emphysema with traditional Chinese medicine.

TCM treatment of emphysema

The first method: abdominal breathing. The patient lies on his back with palms of both hands pressed around the navel of the abdomen. When exhaling, he presses his hands down slightly and his abdomen sinks. When inhaling, he lifts his hands up and his abdomen rises. When doing this, you should pay attention to inhale with nose and exhale with mouth like a whistle. The exhalation time should be longer and the inspiratory time should be shorter. The ratio of exhalation time to inspiratory time is about 2:1. Practice for 15-20 minutes each time.

The second method: breathing exercises. The patient stands at attention, raises his arms obliquely in front of his body, and then inhales with his nose. With the process of inhale, his hands slowly close to his chest. When the air is exhausted, his arms are folded in front of his chest, and then he does the action of breathing with his mouth like whistling. He squats with his stomach closed, leans forward, and raises his heels to squat. Stop for a moment, then breathe naturally and stand back. Start doing it a second time. Practice 5-10 minutes each time.

The third way: walking and jogging. General emphysema patients after the above two methods of training 1 ~ 2 weeks, they can gradually take a walk, jogging exercise. The amount of exercise is from small to large, the distance can start from hundreds of meters, and gradually increase to 1000 ~ 5000 meters, with my good self feeling as the degree.

matters needing attention

Emphysema patients can be properly treated with oxygen inhalation to reduce lung pressure, and patients should regularly go to the hospital for examination and rehabilitation treatment.
