Lung Dryness correlates with dry cough, sore throat, and dehydration. Characterized by dry mouth, scanty phlegm, and a fine rapid pulse.
Evidenze di ricerca:
Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) support acupuncture for these patterns. Cochrane reviews show moderate to strong evidence for acupuncture in hypertension (2018), IBS (2017), and menopausal symptoms (2016). Systematic reviews confirm efficacy for chronic fatigue syndrome, lower back pain, and insomnia. Evidence quality varies by condition. Large-scale RCTs recommended for specific pattern differentiation.
