Dried ginger, peppermint, and fine pungent three flavors all have the effect of pungent powder, which is a commonly used medicine for the treatment of phlegm and cough, but due to different properties and different effects, the clinical application must be distinguished.
1 dried ginger
Dried ginger is an important medicine for treating cold and drinking phlegm. Its taste is pungent, its nature is warm, it enters the lungs, spleen, stomach, heart, kidney meridians, it has the function of dispelling cold and warmth, dissolving phlegm and drinking, dispelling phlegm and salivation, and stopping vomiting. Clinically, it is often combined with cinnamon branches, fine spices, schisandra chinensis, and licorice to treat lung cold and cough, and the phlegm and saliva are as thin as white foam.
It is not good for the phlegm of chronic bronchitis in the elderly, and the cold drink certificate of cold limbs and greasy taste is more effective.
Dried ginger mainly contains capsaicin and ginger oil, which can stimulate the reflex of the vascular motor center and sympathetic nerve, so as to enhance the movement of the mucocilia of the tracheal wall, which is conducive to salivation and coughing up.
Ginger enters the lung meridian, and the pungent disperses and warms, which has the effect of warming the lungs and dissipating cold and drinking. Cold drink stored in the lungs will cause coughing, coughing up white foamy thin phlegm, difficult to break the root, often dry ginger + schisandra mixed use.
Dried ginger warms the lungs, Schisandra chinensis collects the lungs, and can be used to relieve cough and asthma, which can be a good aid in regulating the cough caused by cold drinking and subduing the lungs.
The medicinal properties of dried ginger are warm, and dried ginger is not the same as ginger. Ginger is the cold in the stomach, and the dried ginger is warm, and it is the cold in the lungs, and too cold in the lungs will cause the qi to go up and cough, so the dry ginger can go to the cold of the lungs.
2 mint
As for the effect of peppermint, it is the opposite of dried ginger, especially the main components of peppermint oil, menthol, etc., which can act on sensory nerve endings and paralyze them, and external use has the effect of relieving pain and itching.

In recent times, peppermint oil has been used to treat cough medicine, which makes the throat feel cold after taking it, so the itchy throat disappears, and the cough is temporarily suppressed.
In fact, the use of peppermint oil to suppress cough has more disadvantages and less benefits, especially for those who have an external cough at the beginning and phlegm and vomiting, which inhibits the cough and saliva can not be discharged, which will lead to chest tightness and shortness of breath.
For diseases such as chronic bronchitis and pediatric bronchial asthma in the elderly, it is more inappropriate to use drugs that paralyze sensory nerves to suppress cough.
