Sad? Short of Breath? Food can help.

7/10/2014

In Wednesday's blog we talked about the lung qi, when it is strong the breath is strong and the body's energy is sufficient.

We also mentioned that shortness of breath, dry throat and mouth, and emotions like sadness and mourning are associated with weak lung qi.

In addition to acupuncture and deep breathing, what can you do to support your lungs? Diet!

Play with these ingredients, add them to your favorite dishes, or use them as an excuse to mix up your dinner routine with something new. Enjoy!

I have recently been diagnosed with Intersticial Lung Disease and have serious breathing issues - chronic cough - shortness of breath - dry throat and mouth. Traditional western medicine just isn't cutting it - been on steriods, antibiotics and multitude of breathing treatments for 3 years now. I'm hoping Eastern medicine route will help!!
