When you usually have a cough and phlegm, do you always want to go to the pharmacy to buy some cough and phlegm medicine to eat, just after eating it does have an effect, but after two days it still changes back to the old state, and it is not good to be cured repeatedly?
Today, I will talk to you about the most common types of phlegm in clinical practice, how they are produced, and what to pay attention to
The first and most common type is white phlegm (white and thin, easy to cough up).
In traditional Chinese medicine, "spleen deficiency produces phlegm", that is to say, when the spleen is deficient, the water and fluid in our body cannot be transported normally, so the water gathers together to produce water dampness and then forms phlegm, which is the phlegm produced by spleen deficiency.
This kind of patient, usually has a lot of phlegm, but always feels weak, the tongue coating is also relatively thick, there will also be dry mouth and other symptoms, if the spleen deficiency can not be relieved in time for a long time, it will also affect sleep, indigestion leads to obesity and other problems.
Such people usually eat less oil and less salt in their diet, try not to eat greasy or fried food, and if necessary, they can refer to Xiangsha Liujunzi Soup for conditioning.
The second type is phlegm produced by heat, which appears as yellow sputum (yellow viscous).
Why does heat also produce phlegm? Because our human body pays attention to the balance of yin and yang, if too hot or too cold will lead to yin and yang imbalance, then when the body is overheated, the fluid will be refined into phlegm.
To put it simply, for example, when we usually cook porridge at home, the water is very thin at the beginning, and it will become more and more viscous after boiling for a long time, and the lungs in our body are the same. Yellow phlegm is formed, which is called lung fever.
For example, the cough caused by wind, heat and cold will have a lot of phlegm, and the beef, mutton and rabbit meat we eat in life will also cause the body to heat up and form hot phlegm. Therefore, we should stop in moderation, and it is useless to eat more. If necessary, you can refer to the depyretic lung clearing soup
The last type is cold phlegm (thin white with foam), which is the phlegm produced when our body is cold.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "phlegm belongs to yin, and when it is cold, it will condense", for example, the water of the river will freeze in winter, and it will freeze because the weather is too cold, and our human body is the same.
Just like some friends drink some cold beer and drinks in summer, and then blow the air conditioner, there will be phlegm after eating, and some will also have phlegm after eating fruit, and sometimes it may be accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose and other symptoms. Such patients usually try to eat less raw and cold food, and if necessary, they can refer to Xingsusan for conditioning.
