Health experts are providing guidance on managing respiratory health during the autumn season, focusing on both general wellness and pediatric care. Initial recommendations emphasize protecting lung health against dry air and temperature changes. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches include using ‘Er Dong Tang’ to nourish the lungs and kidneys, alongside dietary suggestions like lily bulb and white fungus soup. Experts also advise against vigorous deep breathing in cold, dry air, suggesting instead that breathing be “slow, fine, deep, and even” through the nose. Subsequent guidance focuses on pediatric respiratory issues, specifically allergic rhinitis and seasonal coughs. With data indicating a 37.7% prevalence of allergic diseases among Chinese children, experts recommend using H13 HEPA air purifiers to mitigate indoor allergens like dust mites. TCM practitioners further distinguish between “warm-dry coughs” in early autumn and “cool-dry coughs” in late autumn, suggesting specific acupressure points and dietary remedies such as steamed pear or ginger and perilla tea to manage symptoms. Recent updates expand on traditional dietary practices for moisturizing the lungs. Pears are highlighted for their water content and antioxidant properties, though experts note they are not a universal cure for infection-based coughs. Additionally, three types of almonds are identified for their specific uses: sweet almonds (Nan Xing) for moisturizing the lungs and intestines, bitter almonds (Bei Xing) for medicinal antitussive and asthma relief, and nut almonds (Badan Xing) for snacking. Specific recipes, such as old cucumber and pear soup or egg white almond tea, are recommended, though individuals with weak digestion or lingering colds are advised to exercise caution.
