You may have such an experience, cold, cough, phlegm, this kind of phlegm that just came out at the beginning, generally white, some even with white foam, there are many ways to deal with this cold phlegm in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Xiaoqinglong soup.
If the cold is cured, but the phlegm does not decrease, but persists, you will find that the phlegm may begin to become sticky, which is often a deficiency of the spleen, and the texture of the phlegm is more difficult to "transport".
This is what traditional Chinese medicine has always said: "The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lungs are the organ of phlegm." ”
After the cold, the spleen is deficient, and the fluid is poorly transported, which leads to phlegm dampness, and when it reaches the lungs, it slowly takes root and stays, once there is more phlegm, the lungs naturally can't stand it, and they want to cough a little out, just like that, they keep coughing, they keep having, and they can't get better.
This kind of person with spleen deficiency, if you look closely, in addition to coughing up phlegm, you also have a white and greasy tongue, a weak appetite, a bad meal, easy to loose stool, sticky to the toilet, and a sense of lethargy and weakness.
But there are some people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, who promote the lungs and strengthen the spleen, and often can't put an end to the old phlegm, which is particularly large, and they have to spit out after a while, which is often kidney deficiency and poor roots!
Phlegm is the condensed water, the metabolism of the human body's water, and the lungs, spleen and kidneys three sets of viscera systems, are closely related, any place out of a moth, will be different, and the kidney caused by the phlegm is more, hidden very deep.
If you only use some dehumidifying and phlegm-reducing medicines, such as red bean barley, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and Banxia magnolia soup, for this kind of person who is deficient, the more you eat, the more you eat, the more weak you are, at least there is no obvious curative effect, the cow is going to starve to death, and you still whip it to work, can it work?
This kind of person, since he has been sick for so long, must be mainly qi deficiency and positive deficiency, because sometimes phlegm cough is not completely the dampness of internal injury, but really has evil qi entrenched and caused by inflammation, the human body's immunity is not strong, and it cannot completely drive away evil qi, and righteous qi and evil qi have been in a situation of tearing each other apart, and it will definitely produce phlegm, which is an immune waste.
Sometimes, if the body feels stronger, there will be less phlegm, and if the body feels worse, then there will be more phlegm.
You must know that in the human immune system, the immune cells that come out of the kidney bone marrow system account for 80%, and some are produced by the spleen lymph, so kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency will inevitably have low immunity, and various strange diseases will also brew.
This kind of person will have typical manifestations of kidney deficiency, such as soreness in the waist and knees, many chronic diseases, many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, yang deficiency and fear of cold, essence deficiency and weakness, etc., speaking of which, coughing up phlegm is just a small problem, which is why, some long-term chronic diseases, such as bronchitis and asthma, are often in the syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, which is the deficiency of the lungs and kidneys.
The human body is very complex, don't just look at the tip of the iceberg, study it deeply, kidney deficiency may be the root of phlegm.
