Phlegm is phlegm in a broad sense: it is useless body fluid, useless waste, the source of qi and blood, and the semi-finished product of Shui Gu's subtle metabolism. He was supposed to melt qi and blood, but the processing stopped in the middle, which was a waste of phlegm and dampness. Useless thing. In a narrow sense, it is the sputum discharged from the respiratory tract. Shui Gu's subtle metabolism is not smooth, and the semi-finished product is called phlegm, which is the accumulation of body fluid. Body fluid and water can't function normally, which is called phlegm dampness. The river in the body, this water must be flowing, "because there is flowing water at the source." . Our human bodies are actually made of water, especially women and children, and there are more components of water in our weight. There are intracellular and interstitial cells, and human cells are actually soaked in water. This water is not a stagnant pool. It must be alive. After the water and food it drinks are used up, it must be discharged through urine, sweat and beard This process must be smooth. Then at this time, if the river in your body is not smooth, you will stagnate and form phlegm as soon as you stop. This phlegm is very wet. When it stops, it stops in your liver, which is fatty liver. When it stops under the skin, it is obesity. When it stops at the head, it is often dizzy and unconscious. When it stops at your heart, it is chest tightness, shortness of breath and palpitation. Wherever you park, there will be problems, and some will have some pimples. Chinese medicine says that "all diseases are caused by phlegm", and "stubborn phlegm gives birth to strange syndrome". You can't cure the disease. Think about whether phlegm works here. Phlegm-dampness constitution is actually that the metabolic process of body fluid in human body is not smooth and relatively stagnant, just like a slow and dirty river. If it is internal, it must be external, and there must be external performance for me to judge.

Phlegm-dampness constitution:

1, shape:

Fat people have more phlegm and dampness, while thin people have more internal heat. People with heavy phlegm and dampness tend to get fat, and people who gain weight are generally phlegm and dampness, which is very common in clinic. Because man struggles upwards, water flows downwards. Therefore, people with heavy phlegm are often heavy in body and feet; People with a lot of phlegm sit there with a heavy ass, so they don't like to move; Do not like drinking water. For example, a patient with phlegm-dampness constitution read magazines and advertisements and said that women should drink eight glasses of water every day if they want to be beautiful. As a result, they gained weight and felt very bloated and particularly uncomfortable. You are phlegm-damp. Drink when you are thirsty. When water enters your body, you should drink it slowly. If you drink eight more glasses of water, won't it increase the burden on the spleen and stomach and bladder? Why don't you get fat when you go out? It will not go out. Why doesn't your stomach swell? It can be seen that beauty also varies from person to person. People with phlegm-dampness constitution eat fruit, but it is uncomfortable and will not bring beauty effect at all.

Phlegm-dampness constitution has a habit in diet, and most people like to eat salty things. I like fragrant food, but my taste is partial. Taste bias has obvious causal relationship with phlegm-dampness constitution; Urine is often turbid, that is, urine can't be solved clearly. If urine is innocent, like boiled water, it is yang deficiency; Normal urine is light yellow, clear and transparent; If the urine is turbid and frothy, it is a sign of phlegm-dampness. (This refers to a regular period, not an occasional day or two. )

People with phlegm-dampness constitution are also polarized when sweating. One kind sweats a lot, but it is too fat. After getting fat, he tends to sweat when he moves. However, there is a fat man who is not love sweating. In fact, his love sweating has a lot to do with his tendency to get fat and form phlegm-dampness constitution. So if you want to lose weight clinically, you must ask him how he sweats. If it's not love sweating, it depends on inactivity. If not, you must pay attention to this weight loss and mobilize his mailing function. Sweating is a very important thing and plays a role in regulating body temperature. In addition, sweating is a very important excretory process. Sweating is not clear water, and a lot of metabolic waste is discharged. If you don't sweat, it will have a greater and greater impact on the human body. It is equivalent to saying that a detoxification route is stuck. People with phlegm-dampness constitution have sticky stools, which are difficult to relieve. It's not necessarily dry, but it's sticky and can't be flushed in the toilet.

Tongue image: Your tongue must be fat and thick with moss, so your tongue is fat and thick with moss. If you don't want to make up in autumn, you should make up. The more the coating is applied, the heavier the phlegm is and the fatter it is. The more you make up for diabetes, the more predestined.

2. God:

People with phlegm-dampness constitution will react slowly. People's physical reaction, please respond roughly, it will be slower. Often dizzy, top-heavy, obviously. If you often feel dizzy, heavy head and lethargy after middle age, you should pay attention to it, which is a manifestation of the transformation to phlegm-dampness constitution. After you finish eating, your spleen and stomach will not digest well, and the phlegm will be full, which will make Qingyang blind, and you will feel chest tightness and dizziness after eating. This is appropriate. (Slow response: blink half a beat slower than others) Moisture has a characteristic, it is sticky, it has a characteristic reaction in your body and a reaction in your function. There is a reaction in your god.

Causes of phlegm-dampness constitution:

1, congenital inheritance is more important. So we can often see some metabolic diseases, lifestyle diseases and so on. In addition to lifestyle, there is an obvious family history, such as diabetes, hypertension, gout and hyperlipidemia.

2. Long-term taste is salty, and eating too much salt is a very important dietary factor to promote growth and aggravate phlegm-dampness constitution.

Eating too many frozen and cold things when you are young will promote your health and aggravate your physical deviation. For example, it will aggravate your yang deficiency, your qi deficiency and your phlegm dampness. Eating too much frozen food will hurt the spleen and stomach. Some people who hurt the spleen and stomach will show: "The spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lung is the device for storing phlegm." After your spleen is injured, the transformation of qi and blood will be insufficient, and phlegm and semi-finished products will be produced there, so he will have a consequence and form a phlegm-dampness constitution. Moreover, this phlegm-dampness constitution is often mixed with yang deficiency, which is combined with yang deficiency. Once you get fat, you are severely obese. And it's hard.

4. Stay up late for a long time. As long as he stays up late for a long time, his tongue picture presents a typical phlegm-dampness tongue picture: the tongue coating is thick and greasy, and it will not go away for a long time. If your tongue coating is thick and greasy for a long time, you can basically conclude that it is phlegm-dampness constitution with heavy moisture. Therefore, staying up late often promotes phlegm-dampness constitution. The mechanism is as follows: If you stay up late, it will affect the release of bile. If it affects the gallbladder, it affects the liver, and then the liver affects the spleen. It is interlocking.

Susceptible diseases of phlegm-dampness constitution:

1, obesity, hypertension. , hyperlipidemia, gout, the most prone to stroke, myocardial infarction, fatty liver.

2, the skin is not good, oily skin is the mainstay, and it is cystic acne all its life, with a bad prognosis and bumps.

3, irregular menstruation, mainly amenorrhea, less menstrual flow. Therefore, we often see that girls without menstruation gradually gain weight, or get fatter and fatter, and menstruation begins to decrease to a certain extent. Burn to a certain extent, amenorrhea. After amenorrhea, you are fatter and it is difficult to adjust. Therefore, the weight gain caused by phlegm-dampness constitution is not effective. Irregular menstruation is hard to mix.

4, chronic pharyngitis. Chronic pharyngitis cannot be generalized, and some are mainly yin deficiency, so it must be moistened at this time; Some chronic pharyngolaryngitis is based on phlegm-dampness constitution. This song should eliminate phlegm, regulate qi and disperse knots. The treatment is completely different.

5, phlegm-dampness constitution is easy to be accompanied by depression. What is depression? Roughly similar to depression. Any short-term weight gain and obesity are related to emotions. It is generally a bad life event (sudden death, unemployment). Lovelorn, divorced, etc. After graduating from college, they can't find a job and their self-esteem is hit. These people are prone to obesity. So if you lose weight, you must ask yourself if you have any emotional problems. If so, we must first solve his depression. Losing weight is a very complicated matter, which is related to the doctor's skill and personal accomplishment. It's also related to your inheritance. Everyone should have an objective understanding of acupuncture weight loss, who is just one of the ways to lose weight. Some are applicable, some are not applicable, some are effective, and some are invalid.

Countermeasures for phlegm-dampness constitution;

Spleen is the source of phlegm, and the source of phlegm is the spleen and stomach. So this is still a question of protecting the spleen and stomach. But this spleen and stomach, it may be empty and its processing ability is not good, then it will produce phlegm and dampness. What's more, the function of the spleen and stomach is quite good. You are too greedy, too indifferent and too fond of staying up late. The less the spleen and stomach like it, the more you impose it on him. All right, I quit. I won't give you luck at all. You eat, you eat, I'll give you all the phlegm, take your time. So protect the spleen, which is the same as qi deficiency. "The kidney is the innate foundation, and the spleen is the acquired foundation". Therefore, Li Dongyuan thought that "all diseases are caused by the spleen and stomach".

The principle of keeping in good health is to properly remove dampness and comb the air conditioner on the basis of protecting the spleen and stomach, so as to make people's internal environment as clean as possible.

1, Diet: control the food intake, eat seven points full, don't overeat, don't eat too fast, eat less salt, especially don't stay up late, be sure to eat breakfast (eating breakfast is the first step to improve phlegm-dampness constitution and lose weight), and the diet should be light, warm and dry or have the effect of eliminating dampness.

For example, there is a patient. During the rainy season, people with phlegm-dampness constitution will feel uncomfortable, with sticky stools and turbid urine. No one can sleep well, because when phlegm is heavy, it will stop in the middle coke, and Yang Can can't hide at night and can't sleep well. At this time, you can eat some mala Tang and sweat. If you don't sweat, then go to exercise.
