The lungs are affected by cold pathogenic factors, which leads to cough. Sometimes, due to deficiency of Qi in the Zang-Fu organs, external cold affecting the body and consumption of cold food and drinks, the lungs are injured. When Lung Qi is insufficient and invaded by pathogenic factors, it lingers for years and transmits to the five Zang and six Fu organs.
