Recently, A fan came to me and wanted me to talk about drooling over sleep.

This fan's surname is Liu, male, age is old, has a history of high blood pressure.

Drooling in sleep, wet heat sleepy spleen! Improve the spleen and stomach, clear the damp heat, and hold the saliva

It was probably from these few months that he found himself sleeping with a lot of saliva and often wetting his pillow. He was like this every night, and Lao Liu was also very upset. I went through a relevant oral examination and found no problems.

I met me by chance and consulted

Engraving: Lao Liu's veins are relatively smooth, the tongue is red, and the tongue is white and slippery, and the whole person's body is fat and rosy.

Then I opened a square. But see --

Huanglian, Bamboo Ru, Fa Ban Xia, Tangerine Peel, Grain Buds, Citrus Aurantium, Poria Sativa, Substitute Ochre, Licorice Root, Ginger, Loquat Leaves.

Drooling in sleep, wet heat sleepy spleen! Improve the spleen and stomach, clear the damp heat, and hold the saliva

As a result, Lao Liu, taking a dose that night saw the effect, sleeping will still have saliva flowing out, but it is not much reduced.

After falling asleep the next night, there was no saliva and normal sleep.

I took it again for a while, so the symptoms disappeared and all kinds of minor problems were completely better.

And then I'll talk about the rationale for that.

In fact, it is very common to drool when sleeping, whether adults or children, drooling in sleep often considers the weakness of the spleen and stomach, insufficient intake.

Why? The main muscle of the spleen, the spleen as the root of the transport, once weak, the muscle collection is insufficient, can not control the saliva in the mouth, the net liquid can not be effectively spread to the whole body. It will condense in the mouth.

So is there any problem with Lao Liu's spleen and stomach?

From the appearance of the tongue veins, it can be considered that the spleen is sleepy with damp heat.

Lao Liu's face is red, and the tongue body is also red, which indicates that there is heat, the tongue is white and slippery, and the pulse strings are slippery, which is the manifestation of phlegm wet obstruction of the veins.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of Lao Liu, the key is to solve the problem of damp heat and spleen.

Lianqing has the effect of heat, dryness and wetness; bamboo ru has the effect of clearing phlegm heat and reducing reverse qi. Fa banxia can play the role of drying and wetting and reducing reversal; tangerine peel is used to dehumidify qi; ginger can play a role in warming and dehumidifying; poria plays a role in strengthening the spleen and dampness; grain buds can enhance stomach absorption and promote digestion; substitute ochre can be used to suppress and reduce reversals. Loquat leaves have the effect of clearing heat and reducing stress.

In this way, Lao Liu's wet heat was dissolved, the upward rebellious qi was also contained, and the saliva in his mouth was "withdrawn".

This sleep drooling thing is also common in the elderly, and is often accompanied by high blood pressure, and what should be done needs to vary from person to person. For this type of person, the compatibility used in my article is representative to a certain extent.

It is recommended that its non-professional readers and friends may wish to learn from and apply it under the dialectical guidance of Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Yourself, never blindly try the drug. Professional TCM colleagues, may wish to also make a reference. I think Lao Liu's symptoms are very common, and the symptoms and how to deal with them are worth our efforts to ponder.
