What are the symptoms of blocked lung meridian?

The human body structure is very complex, with meridians spread all over the body, and the lung meridian is a relatively critical part of the human body. If the lung meridian is blocked, it will easily lead to some lung diseases. Generally, there are many symptoms of lung meridian blockage, such as coughing, shortness of breath, and it can also easily cause the throat to feel dry, easily cause coughing, etc., and it can also easily cause some physical complications.

Common symptoms of lung meridian obstruction:

Afraid of wind, easy sweating, dry throat and cough; allergic rhinitis, dry skin and easy to be allergic; shortness of breath, chest congestion and dull complexion when moving.

Various diseases after lung meridian damage

In fact, the functions of the lung meridian are far more than that, because it is closely connected with organs such as the lungs, large intestine, throat, and skin. Only by ensuring the smooth flow of the lung meridian can the functions of these related organs be guaranteed. When the lung meridian is blocked, the body will experience the following symptoms, which should especially attract our attention.

(1) External meridian disease: abnormal sensations such as numbness, pain, chills, soreness, etc. along the course of the lung meridian, generally appearing in the clavicle fossa, upper arm, and the upper inner edge of the forearm.

(2) Organ disease: Abnormalities in the Qi of this meridian can cause symptoms such as chest tightness, cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and irritability. Because the lungs are connected to the mouth and nose, symptoms include nasal congestion, colds, and runny nose.

(3) Skin diseases: Due to the connection between the lung meridian and the skin, abnormalities in the lung meridian qi can also lead to skin changes. Insufficient lung qi can easily cause symptoms such as urticaria and allergic skin diseases. If lung heat rises and oil secretion becomes abnormal, symptoms such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, pigmentation, dullness, etc. can become very disturbing. In addition, the skin is the organ through which the body's nutritional and defensive qi operates. The immune and defensive capabilities are realized through the microcirculation of the skin and hair. If the lung meridian is damaged, the nutritional and defensive qi will be weakened, the skin's metabolic function will deteriorate, and it will be susceptible to invasion by external evils, and may become ill when encountering cold, heat, or humidity.

(4) Difficulty in defecation:

The lungs and large intestine are mutually exterior and interior. If the lung fire is suppressed, the large intestine may also have abnormal conduction, leading to difficulty in defecation. As we all know, constipation will affect the body's detoxification. As toxins accumulate in the body, all kinds of major and minor problems will follow.

In daily life, self-care of the lung meridian can be carried out through the following aspects:

1. Tap and massage along the lung meridian

The line on the back of the arm near the thumb is the lung meridian. You will feel a slight soreness when tapping it. If one day you tap it and find unbearable pain, that is the lung meridian speaking, telling you: you are about to catch a cold. Then you need to tap more frequently, tap more times a day, and tap the lung meridian when you have time, until the feeling of unbearable soreness and pain is gone. This means that the lung meridian has helped you eliminate the cold germs.

2. Maintain an optimistic and happy mood

As the saying goes, "Excessive sadness hurts the lungs, and excessive anger hurts the liver." If one is too pessimistic and gets sad over trivial matters, it will lead to stagnation of lung qi and may also hurt the lungs, resulting in insufficient lung qi. Weak qi will affect a person's mood and make him more susceptible to external influences.
