Fall Health Check Up – Allergies & Asthma

Your lungs’ main purpose is respiration, inhaling and exhaling. And while the Fall delivers pretty leaves and pleasant cool days, it also taxes the lungs. That’s why many people who struggle with asthma or allergies tend to have harder time in Fall. Their chest is tight and it’s harder to take a deep breaths in and out. The lungs control breathing. Physical energy depends on the breath. If your Lung system is weak, you will feel tired and dislike to speak.

Fall Health Check Up – Colds & Flu

The lungs are also in charge of your immune system. This is the reason why people tend to catch colds and flu in the Fall if their Lung system is not strong.

Do you have a cough that lasted more than a week? Does your cough come up suddenly? Does it come and go? Is it hard to stop the cough when it starts? Do you cough more when you speak more? Do you tend to cough in the evening and night? If you answered yes 3 times to the above questions, your body is telling you that your Lung system needs help. This is a good time to get acupuncture to boost your Lung function and cure your cough.

Fall Health Check Up – Skin Conditions

The Lungs also governs skin health. If you experience dry, scaly or itchy skin, your Lung system may be weak. A lot of people who suffer from eczema, psoriasis and contact dermatitis have flare ups in the Fall.

Topical medicines for skin conditions don’t work well. And if they do help, the benefits don’t last long. That’s because you internal Lung system is not strong yet. To cure the skin conditions, you need to take care of the root issue, which is your Lungs. When your Lung system is healthy, your skin will return to health.

Fall Health Check Up – Depression

Depression is the emotion most associated with Lungs. Have you felt less motivated lately? Is it harder to get up in the morning and get the day started? Do you feel a little sad and down but can not put a finger on why? You may be experiencing the emotion associated with Fall.

It’s time to support and strengthen your Lung system. When your Lungs are healthy, you feel more energetic and motivated. You want to get up in the morning and get your day started instead of dragging. You want to exercise instead of pushing yourself, saying the phrase “I have to…”
