There is such a kind of person, even if he usually does not have a cold, does not have pharyngitis, and has no problem with doing lung examinations, but there is always endless phlegm throughout the year, and he can always cough up phlegm from his throat and eyes with a slight cough, and it is useless to eat a lot of phlegm-reducing drugs. In fact, in my clinical practice, I never treat phlegm first when I encounter such patients, because phlegm is only a superficial phenomenon, and only by finding the root of the problem can we wipe out the phlegm!
First of all, the first one is spleen deficiency. After all, the spleen is one of the most important organs of water metabolism, and its role is like a transfer station, the water first passes through the spleen and stomach, and then transports it to other organs, so if the spleen cannot transfer the water out in time, it will stay in the body, and then become phlegm and dampness. And this kind of people, often accompanied by loss of appetite, poor absorption, easy constipation, or unformed stools, at this time the focus should be on strengthening the spleen, you can refer to the Six Gentlemen Soup
The second one is the lack of kidney yang. The kidney is also responsible for water metabolism, it relies on the kidney yang to transpire and vaporize the water and moisture in the body into fluid and subtle substances for the body, and the rest will become urine and then excreted from the body, so once the kidney yang is insufficient, the most direct manifestation is water stagnation, on the one hand, it will lead to more phlegm, on the other hand, it will lead to frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, clear and long urine, and the waist and knees are sore, and the hands and feet are cold
The third one, which many people may not know, is liver qi stagnation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is mainly drained, in charge of the body's qi, and the qi has the effect of promoting the operation of the fluid, if the pressure is high, the mood is not good for a long time, the qi is blocked together, and the fluid will also be piled together, forming phlegm and dampness, but this kind of people are often accompanied by irritability, chest tightness, and a foreign body sensation in the throat
