Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are the main qi, and the hundred veins are towards the lungs, and the lung meridians assume the function of qi, blood, and fluid running and infiltrating and nourishing tissues. Whether the lungs are good or not is related to whether the muscles, bones, muscles, and joints can function normally. Therefore, the health of the lungs is extremely important.
Let me tell you a medical case.
Mr. Xie, who lives in Hangzhou, is a contractor who has been smoking for decades and has been in good health before. Since August last year, I have felt pain in my lower back and legs, I have difficulty walking, and my voice is a little hoarse.
At first, I thought it was caused by a herniated disc in the lumbar spine, but as time went on, the symptoms became more and more serious, and progressed to the point that he lost sensation in his legs, and even had urinary incontinence! After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor found that Mr. Xie had multiple tumors in both lungs, and the lung cancer had metastasized to the ribs and spine, compressing the spinal nerves in the spine.
The doctor said: The reason why Mr. Xie has paralysis of the lower limbs and incontinence is mainly because the tumor that has metastasized to the spine compresses the spinal nerves!
The symptoms of lung cancer are not typical in the early stage, so it is easy to be ignored, but once these symptoms appear in the body, we must be vigilant and ignore them, especially if the body constitution itself is relatively poor, it is likely that lung cancer is coming!
When lung cancer comes, what hints do your legs give?
1. Weakness and pain in the legs
If you find that your legs have been weak during this time, or even accompanied by swelling and pain, you must pay attention to it, it is likely to be caused by lung lesions.
Especially for lung cancer, when it progresses to a certain extent, cancer cells will invade and infiltrate into the bones, causing bone pain. If the cancer cells in the lungs grow in size, they can also cause stretching and reflex pain. However, most people think that it is caused by joint degeneration and wear, so it is easy to overlook.
2. Abnormal skin on both legs
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the lungs are mainly fur, and when the lung function is reduced, it will inevitably affect the ability to breathe and reduce the amount of oxygen carried in the blood. When blood circulation is obstructed, the skin or mucosal tissues are not adequately nourished, resulting in a lightening of the skin and mucocutaneous membranes.
In addition, these symptoms should also be alert to lung cancer:
1. Persistent cough without phlegm
A typical symptom in the early stage of lung cancer is somewhat similar to the symptoms of a cold, but the cough caused by lung cancer is a long-term cough, no phlegm, and frequent choking, which cannot be found out in a short period of time and is difficult to cure, and is likely to be caused by lung cancer;
2. Hemoptysis and hoarseness
One-third to one-half of patients have this symptom, mostly occasional blood-streaked sputum, and one-third of patients have this as the first symptom.
3. Chest tightness and chest pain
It is also one of the early symptoms of lung cancer, which is generally mild, mainly chest pain and dull pain, and the pain is not fixed, but it will continue to appear.
It should be emphasized that there are no specific symptoms in the early symptoms of lung cancer, and all respiratory symptoms that do not heal after more than 2 weeks of treatment or aggravation of the original symptoms should be alert to the possibility of lung cancer.
Stay away from lung cancer, everyone must do it!
1. Quit smoking
Smoking is an important cause of lung cancer, and people who smoke 20 cigarettes a day for more than 20 years have a 20-fold increased risk of lung cancer. If you have a friend or relative who smokes, be sure to send him this article and advise him to quit.
2. Nourish your lungs regularly
The lungs are the "most delicate" organ in the human body, and damage to the lungs can cause a variety of diseases. Especially friends who smoke often and often smoke "second-hand smoke" must develop a good habit of regularly clearing and nourishing their lungs.
Teach you to observe your fingers
Diagnose lung problems
The thumb is deformed, and the distal segment of the thumb is often hypertrophied and the root is reduced, which is a manifestation of lack of oxygen in the lung meridian.
After compression, the recovery speed of the finger belly is slow and the elasticity is poor, which means that the physical strength is seriously overdrawn, and the elasticity is good, and the fullness of the finger belly indicates that the lung qi is sufficient at present.

The lungs are an important part of the human respiratory system, and traditional Chinese medicine calls the lungs "the canopy of the five organs", which means that the lungs are like an umbrella on the top of the five organs, sheltering the other four organs from the wind and rain, and playing a protective role, so the importance of the lungs is self-evident. In order to have a healthy lung, we must pay attention to these signals about the lungs in the body, detect them in time, prevent them in advance, and make our lungs stronger.
