Description

Acupoint patch for treating pneumonia and preparation method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, in particular to an acupoint patch for treating pneumonia and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The lung is a canopy, connecting to all meridians, regulating water and liquid, externally combining with skin and hair, and opening to the nose, directly communicating with the weather, and anatomically occupying the highest position of the five Zang organs. People rely on the respiratory function of the lungs to continuously inhale clean air and exhale turbid air, and to expel old and absorb new, combining with the Spleen and Stomach to form "Zongqi" to gather in the chest to regulate the rise and fall of the body's Qi. When external pathogens invade the human body, whether from the mouth and nose or by invading the skin and hair, they are easy to attack the lungs and cause disease. The lung is a clear and empty organ that cannot tolerate evil, and cold and heat diseases in other organs often affect the lung. The lung likes dampness and dislikes dryness, and cannot tolerate cold and heat. Once the lung Qi is damaged, various diseases will arise, such as wind causing panting, cold causing cough, dampness causing phlegm, and fire causing cough. Therefore, the lung plays an important role in maintaining human life and health.
