Have you noticed that those elderly people around you, as well as middle-aged people, they especially like to spit, there is always endless phlegm, and some people have a lot of effort every time they cough up phlegm, they can't cough it out, they can't swallow it, why is this?
According to my clinical observations, it is mostly the deficiency of yang energy in the body, because this yang energy is equivalent to the sun in nature, and phlegm is actually something slightly more sticky than water, so yang energy can transpirate and vaporize this phlegm into water, and then discharge it from the body; but yang energy for the human body, it is a process from 100 to 0, once you reach middle age, yang energy is equivalent to less than half, at this time, the ability to vaporize phlegm and dampness decreases, and naturally there will be a situation where phlegm can not be spit out
Especially for the elderly, there is less yang energy, and there is more phlegm relatively, in addition, such people are usually accompanied by fear of cold, cold hands and feet, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, nocturia, and unformed stools, so at this time, you can dissolve phlegm by supplementing yang, such as referring to Ling Guishu Gantang to differentiate the addition and subtraction
There is another reason, that is, the spleen and stomach function of the middle-aged and elderly people is gradually declining, especially those who like to drink, love to eat meat, and eat uncontrollably, the spleen and stomach are not good, there is a saying in Chinese medicine called "fish makes fire, meat produces phlegm", itself at this time Yang Qi is insufficient, coupled with the decline of spleen and stomach transport function, it is naturally easy to form a large amount of phlegm and dampness in the body
In addition, this kind of person is polymorphic and obese, sweating a little bit of activity, especially easy to get tired, fatigue and don't want to move, and loss of appetite, indigestion, fat tongue, tooth marks on both sides, etc., so in addition to replenishing yang qi, it is also necessary to strengthen the spleen and stomach and cut off the root of dampness, such as referring to the Liujunzi soup to distinguish the addition and subtraction
