In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Lung is known as the “delicate organ” (嬌臟, jiāo zàng). It is delicate not because it is weak, but because it is easily affected by external influences — wind, cold, heat, dryness, or dampness. Over my 55 years of practice, I have seen how vital Lung health is, not only for breathing but also for immunity, skin health, and emotional balance.

In the system of the Five Elements (五行), the Lung belongs to Metal, representing clarity, structure, and purity. Just as metal can cut through or refine, the Lung refines the Qi we inhale from the air and combines it with food Qi from the Spleen to form Zong Qi (宗氣) — the vital energy that fuels life.

The Role of the Lung in TCM

The Lung performs several essential functions:

1. Governing Qi and Respiration (主氣司呼吸):
   The Lung takes in clean air, regulates breathing, and distributes Qi throughout the body.

2. Dispersing and Descending (宣發肅降):
   The Lung disperses Wei Qi (defensive Qi) to the skin and muscles to protect against external pathogens, and descends fluids and Qi to keep internal balance.

3. Regulating Water Passages (通調水道):
   By dispersing fluids to the skin and sending them downward, the Lung helps regulate body fluids.

4. Opening into the Nose and Governing the Skin and Hair (開竅於鼻，主皮毛):
   The Lung manifests in the nose and nasal passages. Healthy Lung Qi means clear breathing and a sharp sense of smell. It also nourishes the skin and body hair, keeping them vibrant.

5. Housing the Po (魄):
   The Lung stores the corporeal soul, Po, which is responsible for instinctive reactions and physical vitality.

Symptoms of Lung Deficiency

When the Lung becomes deficient, its dispersing and defensive powers weaken. This may happen due to chronic illness, prolonged grief, poor diet, or repeated exposure to external pathogens. Symptoms vary by age and constitution but often include:

In Adults:

• Frequent colds, weak immunity

• Nasal congestion, sinus issues, watery or dry eyes

• Shortness of breath, chronic cough, shallow breathing

• Dry skin, eczema, or dull complexion

• Fatigue and low voice

• Sadness or prolonged grief

In Children:

• Susceptibility to colds and flu

• Blocked nose or chronic sinus problems

• Runny nose, watery eyes, or allergies

• Slow growth and lack of vitality

In Women:

• Recurring sinus congestion and headaches, especially around hormonal changes

• Sensitive skin, prone to rashes or dryness

• Reduced energy and poor sleep due to blocked breathing

Consequences of Lung Deficiency

If Lung deficiency persists, the body loses its protective Wei Qi. This leads to frequent infections, seasonal allergies, persistent sinus congestion, and chronic respiratory weakness. The skin may become dry or inflamed, reflecting the imbalance within. Emotionally, sadness and melancholy may linger, further weakening vitality.

Eyes & Sinus: Supporting the Lung System

To address these imbalances, Dr. Wen Cheng Wang developed Eyes & Sinus, a natural herbal formula that strengthens the Lung and clears blockages in the head and face. Based on decades of clinical research and classical TCM principles, this formula supports the Lung’s dispersing and descending functions, restoring harmony between breath, immunity, and clarity of the senses.

Functions of Eyes & Sinus:

• Strengthens Lung Qi: Improves immunity and reduces susceptibility to colds and flu.

• Clears Sinus and Nasal Passages: Relieves congestion, runny nose, and headaches.

• Brightens the Eyes: By supporting the Lung’s connection to the nose and eyes, it reduces dryness, watering, or itchiness.

• Supports Healthy Skin: As the Lung governs the skin, clearer breathing often leads to clearer complexion.

• Restores Vitality: By improving Qi circulation, it boosts energy and relieves fatigue.

Stories from Practice

• Adults with seasonal allergies: Many patients report that after using Eyes & Sinus, their spring hay fever symptoms — blocked nose, itchy eyes, constant sneezing — significantly improved, sometimes disappearing entirely.

• Children prone to colds: Parents have shared that their children became more resilient, no longer falling sick every change of season, and were able to focus better in school.

• Women with chronic sinus issues: Patients who suffered from years of sinus headaches found relief, with clearer breathing and more restful sleep.

Conclusion

The Lung, as the “delicate organ,” must be protected and nourished. When strong, it brings clear breathing, radiant skin, strong immunity, and emotional resilience. When deficient, the body becomes vulnerable to allergies, colds, fatigue, and sadness.

Eyes & Sinus offers a safe, natural way to restore Lung strength, clear the senses, and support overall vitality. Whether for adults battling allergies, children prone to illness, or women dealing with chronic sinus problems, this formula provides relief rooted in the wisdom of TCM.
