Phlegm and dampness are trapped in it. Not the same as qi deficiency. Qi deficiency means that the tongue coating is depressed and the phlegm is swollen. At this time, you should first go to Chinese medicine to clear phlegm and dampness for you, and clear this phlegm and dampness. So when we see the hypertrophy of the tongue, and then the tongue coating is thick, greasy and moist, this is what we call the tongue image with heavy phlegm and dampness.
Describe this phenomenon as top-heavy, and the head is as heavy as if it were wrapped in something. This kind of person is sleepy, looks strong and has a good constitution. He always feels weak and heavy. But he is not a condition of qi deficiency, he is phlegm-dampness block.
Phlegm and dampness accumulate on it. What can be used to dissolve phlegm-dampness in our body? I recommend a small prescription for everyone, which is suitable for the composition of typical phlegm-dampness tongue images:
Poria cocos 12g, dried tangerine peel 6g, atractylodes macrocephala 6g. Usage: decoct in water 15 minutes. Do not drink tea.
Poria cocos is very good In fact, in the supermarket, you can see that many poria cocos powders are on sale. Poria cocos has a good effect on strengthening the spleen, promoting diuresis and eliminating dampness. And it is very flat, neither too hot nor too cold after eating, and it is also very comfortable after eating. For many people with poor spleen and stomach, it is good for people who are prone to phlegm dampness in loose stool to eat Poria frequently.
The function of Chenpi in regulating qi and resolving phlegm is to remember to use Chenpi when the tongue coating is thick and greasy.
Atractylodes macrocephala has a good spleen strengthening effect. Why is phlegm wet? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency is the problem of spleen deficiency. Therefore, water and dampness are not transported smoothly, resulting in so much phlegm. Therefore, Atractylodes macrocephala is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. It should be said that it treats both the symptoms and the root causes.
Atractylodes macrocephala is spleen-strengthening and phlegm-resolving, which can both strengthen the spleen and help to eliminate phlegm and dampness. This formula is very flat. When you feel greasy tongue and feel sleepy, boil this water and drink it for a week or two, and you will be fine. As soon as the tongue coating appeared, it stopped.
