If you want to moisten your lungs in autumn, you must first judge your physique, and you can't blindly listen to what is said on the Internet. To give a very simple example, everyone knows that honey and jujube have nourishing effects, but not everyone is suitable.

Generally speaking, people can be divided into 10 constitutions: yang deficiency (cold and heat), yin deficiency (cold and heat), qi deficiency, qi stagnation, damp-heat, blood stasis, peace and idiosyncratic (allergic) constitutions, and the detailed life and maintenance of each constitution should be in accordance with the doctor's advice.
So what is the common practice of moistening the lungs in autumn? Principle of tonic in autumn: dry climate in autumn, low air humidity, easy to harm human body fluids, especially the dry symptoms of human fur, clearing orifices and lung system. The deficiency of yin and body fluid caused by dryness and heat makes the whole body organs and tissues relatively moist, and the function of viscera is low, which aggravates people's fatigue. The principle of tonic in autumn is to nourish yin, moisten dryness and nourish the lungs, that is, "those who are dry should moisten it", "those who are dry on the upper side clear the qi, those who are dry on the middle side increase fluid, and those who are dry on the lower side nourish blood".
