asthma + unskilled retention = worse asthmaFrom: Trunk

MessageA few thoughts.
Amongst potential benefits, the main dangers of semen retention are stagnation and heat.
One of the Chinese medical views of asthma is that "the kidneys are failing to grasp the lung qi", so you can't breathe deeply easily, can't catch your breath. The (healthy) energy of the lungs is cool and descending, and connects with kidney yin at the bottom of the inhale. If you've tinkered unskillfully with retention, it's likely that your lower abdomen is tensed up and over-heated, the exact opposite conditions that the lung qi connects with most easily. Bottom line: it's likely that your ill-informed experimentations with retention have made your asthma worse. It would behoove you to stop retention experimentation at this time, (though other qi gong might be beneficial) and see a doctor of Chinese medicine, to address any remedial condition.
I'm not a doctor, only an amateurish hobbyist. Maybe the above is just so obvious that no one thought to mention it. Anyone with the least training in Chinese medicine and qi gong would know this.
best of luck to you,
Trunk
