Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lung governs fur, the lung function is good, and the fur has strong cold resistance. When the lungs get better, all diseases disappear, and the lung qi is injured, the breathing qi will change abnormally, leading to bronchitis, pneumonia, lung cancer and other diseases.

From the new coronavirus, we can see the importance of nourishing lung, especially in autumn. Acupoints and meridians are good medicines for the human body. Today, I will share with you three acupoints that can help expel turbid qi from the lungs, eliminate fire and detoxify. Let's take a look.
