Treatment of phlegm

summary

Phlegm drink is a traditional Chinese medicine theory, which is a pathological product caused by the metabolic dysfunction of body fluid due to the abnormal gasification function of lung, spleen, kidney and other viscera. In a broad sense, phlegm refers to the proportion phenomenon caused by the liquid such as water in the body can not be normally transported to the whole body and stay or penetrate into a certain part of the body. Among them, phlegm and drink are two different things. Generally, the thicker and turbid one is called phlegm, while the clear and thin one is called drink. It is the so-called "stagnant water into drink, drink congealed phlegm". I'd like to share with you.

Treatment of phlegm

First, the cause of excessive phlegm is generally considered to be caused by the abnormal gasification function of the lung, spleen, kidney and other organs in traditional Chinese medicine. According to the different causes of phlegm, there are differences in cold phlegm, hot phlegm, wet phlegm, wind phlegm, stagnant phlegm and stubborn phlegm. Sputum not only refers to the sputum coughed out, but also includes the sputum remaining in the body.

* second: drinking water, which is not retained in the tissue, can not be transported to the tissue. In TCM, it is thought to be caused by deficiency of spleen and Kidney Yang Qi, exogenous cold and dampness, and injury of food and labor, resulting in dysfunction of the viscera. It can be divided into phlegm, suspension, overflow (related to edema) and branch (related to asthma).

Third: for patients with phlegm (tongue coating more greasy, pulse more slippery, string or sink late), generally take dialectics to demonstrate treatment. If the onset is acute, expectorant first; if the onset is slow, radical treatment should be considered as far as possible to treat the lung, spleen and kidney.

matters needing attention

It is a long and long process to treat phlegm thoroughly. It is not only to seek medical advice can completely solve the problem, but also to pay attention to their usual diet and living habits. Otherwise, it can only relieve the symptoms.
