Do you know that it is not difficult to solve the problem of phlegm, as long as you understand the source of phlegm and the principles of Chinese medicine, even stubborn phlegm can be easily solved!
Especially those friends who cough and spit all day, you must pay attention. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "phlegm originates from the kidneys, moves in the spleen, and travels to the lungs". This means that the production of phlegm is closely related to the kidneys, spleen, and lungs. Next, let me explain the relationship between the three in detail.
Many people think that phlegm is a lung problem, so let's talk about "phlegm in the lungs" first. Once there is a problem with the lungs, the water cannot be delivered normally, and it will accumulate into sputum and accumulate in the lungs. For example, wind chill invades the lungs, resulting in abnormal lung function, and symptoms such as coughing up white phlegm will occur. At this time, it takes about a week to recover with Tongxuanli lung pills.
However, if the wind chill invades the lungs for a long time, coughing up white sputum continuously, especially in the morning and evening, and even chest tightness and breathlessness, you may suffer from diseases such as bronchitis in Western medicine. At this time, you can consider using small green dragon granules to condition.
Next, let's talk about the role of the spleen.
Why is it said that "phlegm moves in the spleen"? Because the spleen is responsible for transporting the subtleties and moisture of the valley. If the spleen does not function well, it cannot convert food into subtlety, and it is easy to produce phlegm dampness; At the same time, spleen deficiency can also lead to the inability of water to drain, forming phlegm dampness. At this time, phlegm will also stay in the lungs, and the symptoms are manifested as coughing up and spitting, sticky in the mouth, mental trance, and fatigue. At this time, the treatment of phlegm should start from the spleen, and you can use Liujunzi pills or Erchen pills to strengthen the spleen and humidify phlegm.
Finally, let's talk about "phlegm originates from the kidneys".
The kidneys are also responsible for water metabolism, and kidney yang helps evaporate excess water. When the kidney yang is weak, the water metabolism is abnormal, and it is easy to form sputum. In this case, in addition to coughing and spitting, it will also be accompanied by symptoms such as cold intolerance, cold limbs, poor spirit, backache, low back pain and weakness in the legs. If you have these symptoms, if you want to expectorant, you have to start from the kidney, you can use Jin Kui kidney qi pills to replenish kidney yang and water dampness.
In short, understanding the source of phlegm and the principles of Chinese medicine can solve the problem of phlegm. That's it for today's sharing, we'll see you next time!
