Macrobiotic approach to the asthmatic cough
How to heal asthmatic cough from the view of macrobiotic, apply taoism to your healing methods, learn the yin/yang energies and how to work with them in a practical way, how to remedy the asthma cough with a simple natural beverage?
You don’t need to spend a lot of money for a drugs. The drugs have also many side effects, that will cause you more problems later. The macrobiotic approach is very natural. It seeks and use only these products that leave no side effects to your body. They are very clean and very effective. But the best is, if you implement the whole macrobiotic diet eating into your lifestyle, because in this way, you will really heal your inner illness problems and not only treating the symptoms. You can cover, suppress these symptoms for a while, but it will always come in a bigger wave. Following is the macrobiotic/taoistic theory and recipe for the remedy of asthma cough.
From the view of the energies (yin/yang) is asthmatic cough characterized by the uplifting energy, the energy going outside, but deep in the process of lungs (at the top of the body) occurs contraction. What remedy would be good for the control of this process?
To stop the outward going energy, it’s needed to provide compacting energy. So we need to use something very firm, compact. This compact product must also has opposite relation to the tendency going upward. If we would provide that in the form of contracting root, the contraction deep in the lungs would get worse.
The energy in direction of up and outward can be supported by fruits, especially by the fruits from the tree. Hence we need to find something, that is in the opposite to these fruits. We can find it in the seeds. So traditionally there were used peach and apricot seeds in these cases.
With an asthmatic cough, there occurs the spastic contraction in the bronchial tubes. We need to try to release this contraction. To achieve the releasing in the upper part of the body, we should use opposite energy. It means, we should stimulate the downward going energy, and this downward energy should have releasing character. Practically speaking, we need to serve the root, that has strong releasing ability. And that energy should be very strong, because the condition, that we treat, is very often the emergency condition. For this purpose is best suited the ginger root. The daikon radish could also work, but ginger is more strong.
So we can suggest the following recipe.
Take the peach seeds or the seeds from apricots. If we use both types, mix the 12g of apricot seeds with 20g of peach seeds. Crush them in the suribachi or in the mortar.
Stir in a small quantity of ginger root.
Then add small amount of a rice malt, to make the final product more tasty. In this case, the rice malt is better than the barley malt, because it stimulates the uplifting energy of the cough.
Cook the ingredients together with a water, until one cup of the liquid remains. Then drink the liquid and eat the ingredients. If you use the same recipe in the case of bronchitis, it can also help. But you won’t need the sweetening ingredient or the ginger. One of them is enough.
