Chinese Medicine and Walking Pneumonia
My Aunt had walking pneumonia to help: I had to explain how Chinese medicine related to the different areas of the body to help resolve it.
Chinese medicine theory connects everything together. The kidney is connected to the urinary bladder, the stomach to the spleen, the large intestine is connected to the lung and the small intestine is connected to the heart. There are some extra channels unheard of called the San Jiao or triple burner that are connected to the Pericardium. There is what is called the upper jiao, the middle Jiao and the lower Jiao. Each is affected by the other.
That may be kind of curious as to why it means something. But last year I had to explain how Chinese medicine related to the different areas of the body to my elderly aunt. She admitted to me that she has had walking pneumonia for several months. She had been seeing a doctor for months and the doctor had put her on several different medicines but none had worked.
Now her doctor was not taking her calls. So she confided now in me after all what is the use of having a doctor for a relative if you can’t get a consultation

I discussed the difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine. I explained that since she still had pneumonia, it was time to get to her Chinese medicine practitioner.
The lung and the large intestine are interconnected. If the lung is backed up and overflowing i.e. water or interstitial fluid. If the large intestine is backed up so the lung will be backed up. The action the practitioner will be facilitating is to move energy from the upper jiao and the middle jiao to the lower jiao which can be done with needles or with herbs or both.

The needles we use are the lower 4 gates which can not only move the fluids from the lungs but helps to clear the sinuses. Many chronic allergy sufferers and patients with upper respiratory complaints say their nose clears up after this protocol is used. We can also use a combination of herbs and needles to help to drain the large intestine. Purging the large intestine and regaining the biological flow helps the lungs to drain. The system is backed up and creates a pneumonia type problem. So If you have not been able to resolve this issue with a medical doctor contact us. Let us help. And about my aunt after she no longer had the problem her doctor took her calls again. She is now a firm believer in Asian Medicine.
