Q Why does asthma worsen during seasonal transitions?
A Temperature swings during seasonal transitions damage lung qi and reactivate latent phlegm-fluid, worsening symptoms.
Detailed Answer
During seasonal transitions, large temperature differences disrupt the lung's dispersing function. Latent phlegm-fluid in the body is then reactivated, irritating the bronchi and causing asthma symptoms to worsen sharply.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Receiving a preventive prescription that replenishes lung qi in advance and clears phlegm-fluid before the season changes can substantially reduce seasonal flare-ups.
