Chronic bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis in TCM is understood as Lung Qi deficiency with Phlegm-Damp accumulation, often complicated by Spleen weakness (the Spleen is the source of phlegm in TCM theory) and Kidney weakness in longer-standing cases. Treatment addresses all three organs.

Sessions during stable periods build Lung and Spleen function; herbal formulas transform phlegm and support the underlying deficiencies. Coordination with pulmonology is important for patients with a formal COPD diagnosis. Smoking cessation, when relevant, is discussed with support rather than judgment.
