Q Are there foods or environments that worsen asthma?
A Cold foods, dairy, dust, mold, and pet dander promote phlegm-fluid formation and bronchial irritation.
Detailed Answer
In Korean medicine, foods that easily form phlegm-fluid include cold drinks, dairy products, and greasy foods. Environmentally, house dust mites, mold, pet dander, and secondhand smoke are major triggers that directly irritate the bronchi.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Combining dietary habits that reduce phlegm-fluid and environmental management alongside the prescription makes treatment effects appear much faster.
