Today, let's learn a tongue image together, usually, we always say that people with thick and greasy tongue coating are often the phlegm and dampness in the body are heavier, and when it comes to phlegm and dampness, they think of using Erchen pills, right? But if you are today's tongue image, Erchen pills are not right at all, no matter how much you use them, it is useless, why? Let's analyze it together.
First of all, let's take a look at how this patient is mainly uncomfortable, the patient's main complaint is cough, intermittent for more than a year, I always feel that there is something in my throat, uncomfortable, I can't swallow it and can't spit it out, I feel that there is phlegm, I can't spit it out, usually it is mostly dry cough, and I always feel very annoyed in my heart, and I have more stools.
Then let's look at her tongue, the tongue is light red, the tongue coating is thick and greasy, and the tongue coating is slightly yellow, there is already a tendency to turn heat, there must be phlegm and dampness in the body, right, but it, can't come out? Why? We analyze her symptoms in combination with whether it is a more typical symptom, "if there is something obstructed in the pharynx", what is the name of Chinese medicine? Mei nuclear qi, so she still has a situation of qi stagnation.
Phlegm is a kind of dampness, it is more sticky in nature, originally the operation of water in the body is to rely on qi to promote, now, the liver qi is not gone, so although the phlegm dampness in the body is very heavy, but there is no power to push it, it can not be discharged, there is a feeling of phlegm, but can not spit out.
Therefore, the key to your conditioning for this kind of patient is not to use Erchen pills to strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm, but how to do it, first soothe the liver and qi, and then the phlegm and dampness will go away, and in addition, you should also pay attention to clearing heat and cleaning up the accumulated phlegm and heat.
