When Your Balloon Slowly Deflates

Do you feel constantly tired? Do you catch a cold every month? Do you sweat spontaneously without doing anything? Then you might be dealing with Lung Qi deficiency - one of the most common patterns in Chinese medicine.

In this podcast we dive into the pattern where your Lung can't do its work properly anymore. The Lung regulates your breathing, produces your Qi together with the Spleen, and spreads your Wei Qi for your defense against illnesses. When these functions weaken, you notice it in everything: shortness of breath with small effort, a weak voice, spontaneous sweating, and constantly getting sick.

You'll learn to recognize why some people always wear a scarf, why they need to rest after climbing one flight of stairs, and why their voice gets softer and softer as the day progresses. Lung Qi deficiency is like a balloon that slowly deflates.

We discuss the mechanism behind this pattern, the combination of symptoms to watch for, how to distinguish it from other patterns, and practical lifestyle advice for people with Lung Qi deficiency.

Perfect for TCM students who want to understand Lung pathology, or for practitioners who want to better recognize and help their patients.
