Abstract

Lung-intestinal homoeopathy is a comprehensive therapeutic strategy that combines traditional theories of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical concepts. We review the clinical progress of lung-gut homoeopathy on immune function. aiming to positively affect the immune function of patients with lung diseases. By regulating the intestinal microbiota, influencing intestinal mucosal immunity, and modulating immune mediators, some clinical treatments has been proved to be effective. In addition, lung-intestinal homoeopathy can improve the immune function of patients with lung diseases by regulating the expression of immunity and immune mediators in the intestinal mucosa and influencing the play of immune response. Although lung-intestinal homoeopathy has made some progress in the regulation of immune function, further clinical studies are needed to verify its efficacy and safety.
