Cough

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is especially effective treating cough because of its differentiation to the various types of cough. For example, if a cough is due to heat that produces sticky phlegm and is difficult to expectorate, the treatment is using cooling, moistening herbs and acupuncture points that clear heat from the lungs. On the other hand, if a cough is due to cold that accompanied by chills and copious mucus; it is treated with warming, drying herbs and the application of moxibustion.
