What reason is phlegm much
When it comes to phlegm, people who are not studying traditional Chinese medicine often think of phlegm.
In fact, the scope of phlegm in traditional Chinese medicine is very wide, including visible phlegm and invisible phlegm. Visible phlegm refers to the sputum produced by cough.
In addition, some diseases such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness or madness may also be caused by phlegm. This invisible phlegm is invisible phlegm.
"The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lung is the organ for storing phlegm". The production of phlegm is mainly related to the lung and spleen. The lung controls breathing and regulates Qi.
When the evil Qi invades the lung, it is easy to cause the body fluid in the lung to agglomerate into phlegm. The spleen is responsible for transportation, that is to digest and transport nutrients to various organs.
If the dampness evil invades the human body, or over consideration, fatigue and improper diet, it can damage the spleen and make it lose its transport function, resulting in water dampness stop and coagulate into phlegm.
For visible phlegm, we can distinguish cold phlegm, hot phlegm, wet phlegm and dry phlegm.
Cold phlegm
Phlegm is white, the patient is afraid of cold, love to drink hot, thin white tongue coating. This is caused by the feeling of cold. Patients can use Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, Platycodon grandiflorum and so on to soak in water, at the same time can treat a cold.
Hot phlegm
Phlegm yellow sticky, by heat evil invasion lung or first by wind cold high fever a few days later, transformed from, afraid of heat, like to drink cool, red tongue, yellow fur. It's time to clear away heat and dissipate phlegm. The diet should be light, don't eat some fried food that is easy to get on fire. You can drink some fresh bamboo juice or pear juice.
Damp phlegm
The sputum is white and watery. The patient has heavy body, easy to be tired or loose stool. The tongue coating is thin and white or greasy. This is due to the invasion of dampness into the human body (such as living in a humid environment), resulting in dysfunction of the lung and spleen, or excessive greasy diet and lack of exercise.
At this time to eat more spleen - strengthening barley, yam and other food. At the same time, strengthen exercise and control weight.
Dry phlegm
The sputum is sticky and hard to cough up. The patient feels dry in the mouth, nose and throat and thin yellow tongue coating. At this time to drink more water, can be appropriate with ginseng, Ophiopogon and other Yin medicine instead of tea, while keeping the respiratory tract moist, indoor humidifier can be used.
How does throat have phlegm to do
In dry weather, we sometimes have phlegm in our throat. Now I'll tell you some common sense in life, which can be solved without taking medicine. The following is a few expectorant methods.
Drinking more water can reduce the irritation and impact of phlegm on the respiratory tract, which is conducive to the elimination of poisons, and the secretion in the throat is diluted, so it is easy to cough out.
When coughing, pat your back with your hands, preferably bending down. But remember not to use force when shooting, otherwise it will backfire.
It's better not to smoke. We found that people who smoke cough up very thick sputum.
If a smoker feels that he has phlegm in his throat and there is a lot of it, he should reduce his smoking. It's better to quit smoking.
If you don't have a habit of smoking, but you still feel phlegm in your throat, maybe you are in a very dry environment.
It is suggested that you can keep your home moist, such as spraying some air freshener.
Because if the air humidity is high, it is conducive to the movement of the cilia on the surface of the mucous membrane and helps to expel phlegm.
Finally, we can alleviate it by combining diet and medicine.
For example, drink more orange peel water and pear juice.
If you can't, you can drink some medicine. If it's serious, go to the hospital.
