        Asthma, since the ancient times that relationship with meteorological factors is great, clinical statistics, the weather changes of asthma attack reason more than three-quarters, followed by fatigue, allergies, and diet factors such as improper. From the time, the annual 9 October is asthma incidence season, the second is winter, spring and plum rains season.

        Autumn is a years cold air activity more frequent season, every time after the cold air, with the temperature, pressure, precipitation, air humidity changes obviously. Especially the lower temperature directly to asthma have induced effect. Because according to TCM theory, asthma a disease, perennial root as "phlegm retention fell in, cementing not to"; Once the climate change, or a cold wind chill, or be caught in practice the dew, "lodge phlegm" for the new evil actuating disease. Modern medical research also think, bronchial asthma mostly by cold or rhinitis cause, and cold and rhinitis and cold air activity has a direct relationship.

        The United States oceanic and atmospheric administration issued by the weather and health "has pointed out that, whenever a strong cold air comes, in air temperature changes from high to low, humidity turned from small to big transformation period, asthma attack frequent, and constantly increase, but when the rise of temperature, illness and are obviously improved trend.

        Autumn and two kind of weather may induce asthma: one is early autumn season, when the thunderstorm before or typhoon landing a couple of hours before, asthma incidence is higher. Psychological medical expert analyzes believed that the climate in addition to the reasons, more important is probably caused by psychological reason ─ ─ patients for the upcoming the torrential rain be upset and even fear. Secondly, late autumn season, weather situation was high pressure control, asthma patients is on the rise. Meteorological medical expert analyzes believed that this may be near formation will appear the inversion layer (i.e. temperature increases with height), the ground appeared some induced asthma "allergens", so that the asthma.

        Of course, the above two kinds of etiology appear probability is not high, in contrast, or cold air activity on asthma influence bigger, more directly.

        In order to prevent and reduce the cold air transit to the harmful effects of asthma, patients should pay attention to strengthen in the autumn cold exercise, enhanced physique, improve heart function, improving the body immunity. At the same time will always grasp meteorological information, when cold air transit, early prevention, and so on. Late autumn when must timely increase gown, avoid catching cold, sooner or later go out best can wear a mask, to reduce the direct stimulation of cold air.
