    Sarcoidosis (adjunctive support)

    Also known as: sarcoidosis, lung granulomas, sarcoid

    Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition producing clumps of immune cells (granulomas) — most often in the lungs, sometimes in skin, eyes or other organs. Many cases settle on their own; others need steroid treatment. Chinese medicine supports the lung-yin, phlegm-stasis and qi-deficiency patterns alongside specialist monitoring.
