In autumn, the temperature can still be relatively high during the day, but the cold winds might suddenly come in the afternoon and cause a huge temperature change in the evening. Please take extra care of yourself because dry and sore throat and cough can occasionally occur in this type of weather.
In traditional Chinese medicine, this is called “autumn dryness hurts the lungs.”
Why Does Autumn Hurt the Lungs?
With the arrival of autumn comes the dry air. However, our lungs actually prefer humid environments. When the weather is hot and dry, the qi in the lung meridian cannot circulate smoothly, and the body will lose fluid through breathing. As a result, people often experience respiratory issues, such as cough and dry throat in autumn.
Moreover, the lung meridian governs our hair and skin. If the lungs lose moisture, your skin and hair will become dry and dull.
Most importantly, if your lung qi is impaired during autumn, you may become more prone to respiratory diseases in winter. Therefore, please take good care of your lung health at this time of the year.
How to Protect Your Lungs and Regulate Lung Qi
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the holistic view and the relationship between heaven and man. Therefore, we need to adapt to the autumn weather and protect our lung qi from autumn dryness.
There are two types of dryness, “warm dryness” and “cool dryness,” usually divided by the autumnal equinox. We may get affected by one or both types of dryness.
The best way to deal with dryness is to add certain foods into your daily diet, especially vegetables and fruits, as they can provide water for the body and supply qi to the meridians. For example, pears, sugarcane, watermelon, and lotus roots are “cool” foods that can soothe “warm dryness,” while white radish, Chinese yam, and pumpkins can help relieve “cool dryness.”
In addition, maintaining a humid environment can protect your lungs. It is a good idea to place a humidifier in your room or keep some water in a bucket near your bed at night. The added water vapor in the air can help moisturize your lungs.
