Asthma is a symptom of kidney, lung, and spleen deficiency
Traditional medicine believes that the lungs are the master of qi and the kidneys are the root of qi.
When asthma attacks, the lungs cannot control qi, and the kidneys cannot receive qi, so the qi goes up, which is why there is wheezing.
The spleen is the source of qi and blood in the human body. Spleen deficiency produces phlegm, which blocks the airway and causes wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
Therefore, asthma is a symptom of kidney, lung, and spleen deficiency.
