Our lungs are our most delicate organ in Chinese medicine. The breath is our first fundamental point of the qi cycle. The lung meridian begins the entire cycle and flow of qi-so if there is disruption in our breath, air, and lungs, our entire body will inherently feel the consequences. Our entire circuit of energy is affected by our breath.. I have listed herbs for lung health and protection, as it is critical to take care of our lung microbiome and metal system right now more than ever if you are living in Southern California. Toxins, smoke, and debris from fires are no joke & should be avoided at all costs. However, if you are living in the areal region, avoidance is impossible. Take care of your air by using air purifiers and replacing the filters REGULARLY. Having house plants in your space also help clear and detox the air naturally. Taking herbs is an integrative and systemic way to prevent short-term and long-term issues from exposure to smoke and the toxins that come along with it. What you breathe in becomes a part of you. Please do not take the air quality issue lightly. You can get most of these from amazon or your local Chinese medicine doctor. + I recommend nourishing your yin and fluids HEAVILY during these dry environmental conditions. The smoke causes lung dryness and deficiency of yin. These herbs I listed increase the yin, fluids, and moisture in the lungs, and eventually throughout the whole body. Drink water, eat pears, fruits, veggies (all sautéed or boiled to increase yin), and increase tea drinking. Sending you all love for you lungs and souls right now #
