From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, of course, asthma should be blamed on the lung, but the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine does not regard the lung as an isolated organ, and its function is related to the spleen and kidney. First of all, lung belongs to gold, spleen belongs to soil and kidney belongs to water in the five elements. Their relationship is that soil can produce gold and gold can produce water.
