Hello, everyone, I'm Sun, a Chinese doctor.

There is such a jargon in Chinese medicine that all diseases are caused by phlegm.

In other words, many strange problems in our body are mostly caused by phlegm dampness in the body, so many Chinese medicine practitioners often start with phlegm when treating this intractable disease, and the effect is handy.

Then, in real life, there are indeed many people with phlegm-dampness constitution. These people not only have potbellies, greasy hair, hair loss and acne on their faces, but also have many other problems, such as:

Such people also have a bad appetite. I always feel sticky in my mouth and don't want to eat. If they eat less, their stomachs will swell, abdominal distension, and sometimes even bad breath, beriberi, gout, wet scrotum in men, and leucorrhea and odor in women. Moreover, they are still very reluctant to move, always feel very tired, always feel that their physical strength is exhausted, and like to take tonics. As a result, they get angry as soon as they take tonic.

When the tongue sticks out and looks again, it is often thick and greasy, and sometimes it may turn yellow.

Not only that, people with excessive phlegm in the body may also have high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and even high uric acid.

Next, I'd like to introduce you to a recipe called Erchen Decoction. Erchen decoction is from Taiping Huimin and Jiju Fang.

Erchen decoction: Pinellia ternata, dried tangerine peel, Poria cocos and roasted licorice.

Although there are only four herbs in the whole prescription, its efficacy should not be underestimated.

Therefore, this side is often called "the originator of resolving phlegm in the world" and has a long reputation. People with phlegm-dampness constitution must know:

First of all, in this prescription, the two most critical drugs, one is Pinellia ternata and the other is tangerine peel, have a * * * similarity, that is, the longer they are stored, the better their efficacy, so they are called "Erchen Decoction".

Then let's talk about Pinellia ternata, which is the main force to resolve phlegm.

Therefore, this medicine in midsummer not only warms the body, but also lowers the qi. Sexual warming can warm phlegm, and lowering qi can promote phlegm and dampness. Therefore, the shadow of Pinellia ternata is indispensable in almost all phlegm-resolving prescriptions.

Then, dried tangerine peel is also a good medicine for dampness and phlegm, which tastes bitter. Chinese medicine says that bitterness can dry dampness, so Pinellia ternata and dried tangerine peel are a match made in heaven. After the combination of the two, the effect of resolving phlegm and eliminating dampness immediately doubles.

Not only that, Chinese medicine believes that the most fundamental thing to eliminate phlegm and dampness is to strengthen the spleen. What is the spleen used for? Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae and Radix Glycyrrhizae are used in Chen Er soup.

First of all, dried tangerine peel is warm. Then, the spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. The temperature of dried tangerine peel can warm and dry the spleen and stomach. Spleen-warming leads to luck. Spleen function and phlegm-dampness can be eliminated.

Licorice, sweet in taste, can directly nourish spleen and stomach and body fluid. Zhang Zhongjing likes to strengthen the spleen with roasted licorice very much. The spleen and stomach are nutritious enough, and you will work harder.

In the end, there was only one poria cocos. As we all know, Poria cocos has a very strong effect of eliminating dampness and promoting diuresis. Therefore, after Banxia and Chenpi dissolve the phlegm in the body, it will become "wet and turbid", and then the poria cocos will be connected and discharged.

In a word, the combination of the four herbs can not only eliminate dampness and phlegm, but also regulate qi and middle energizer, which is very suitable for people with heavy phlegm in the body.

But one thing that needs to be reminded is, is it that after using Erchen decoction, phlegm dampness in the body will no longer be produced?

Of course not.

Erchen decoction only solves the problem of phlegm-dampness at present, and the most important thing is to regulate our spleen and stomach if we want to bid farewell to phlegm-dampness completely, because spleen deficiency is the root cause of phlegm-dampness. Eating less sweets, eating less cold and greasy food and exercising more at the same time will help to dispel phlegm and dampness in the body. Does everyone know?
