So what is the reason for this situation? How to recuperate? Today, I will tell you about the reasons why phlegm is difficult to clear and how to adjust it.
As we all know, most people with bad lungs cough and expectoration all day, and even cough up blood in severe cases. Therefore, people often mistakenly think that there is phlegm in the throat and cough. There must be something wrong with the lungs, so I try my best to eat some food to clear the lungs, but after the symptoms are temporarily relieved, the sputum will always come back.
This is because all the methods we use are temporary solutions rather than permanent solutions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the source of phlegm and the lung is the reservoir of phlegm. It means that phlegm only stays in the lungs for a while, but it really comes from the spleen. Why do you say that? Because the spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry.
Spleen deficiency is lost in luck, and "luck" refers to luck; "Hua" means that digestion and transportation are useless, and the food eaten cannot be completely digested and absorbed, and finally it is deposited in the stomach, which is corrupt and generates heat; Water can't go where it should go, so it stops, forms phlegm, and is finally stored in the lungs. In short, on the way of eliminating phlegm, clearing the lung is only a temporary solution, and strengthening the spleen is the root cause.
1, cold phlegm
The sputum is white and thin, and such patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite and irregular stool. Mostly because of spleen deficiency, phlegm and dampness are endogenous. In this case, we must first strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and then resolve phlegm.
On the basis of the above symptoms, patients also have obvious abdominal distension symptoms, mostly because phlegm-dampness is too serious and stagnates in the body, resulting in poor blood circulation. In this case, in addition to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, it is also necessary to promote qi.
2, hot phlegm
Phlegm is yellow and sticky, and it is not easy to cough up. At this time, on the basis of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, we should also clear away heat and resolve phlegm.
