The Lungs & Large Intestine in Traditional Chinese Medicine

In TCM, balance and harmony are central concepts. The large intestine plays a role in maintaining the balance of body fluids which has a connection to the “moistening” of the lungs or respiration function. When the large intestine functions smoothly, it supports the overall balance and temperature of the body's internal systems. Any imbalances or issues in the large intestine can affect lung health and vice versa.
