Are there any elders around you who usually look healthy, can eat and sleep, but they always cough and expectorate. When I get up in the morning, I always have to cough up a mouthful of thick phlegm, which is a comfortable day. This situation is very common among middle-aged and elderly people, especially people who are addicted to cigarettes and socialize a lot .
In fact, expectoration is not a normal phenomenon, it is more common in various diseases. Although people who often cough sputum have no obvious discomfort for the time being, and even the physical examination is all normal, think about it carefully, how can a truly healthy person always cough sputum.
The spleen is the source of sputum, and the lung is the sputum storage device
As we all know, patients with poor lungs usually cough and expectorate sputum all day long. In severe cases, they also cough up blood, and often prolong the attack. Unable to recover for several months. Therefore, people often conclude that there is endless phlegm and cough in the throat, and it must be a problem with the lungs, so they desperately eat some food or medicine that clears the lungs and nourishes the lungs. As a result, the sputum will always come back after the symptoms are temporarily relieved. This is because all the methods we use treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the source of sputum production and the lung is the storage device of sputum . This means that sputum is mainly produced by the spleen and then temporarily resides in the lungs. So what's the point of saying this? Let me give you a brief explanation.
spleen is the foundation of acquired nature, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, spleen loses health and movement , not only the food eaten cannot be completely digested and absorbed, it can only be deposited in the stomach to rot and generate heat, even water The liquid can't get where it should go, so the wetness stagnates and phlegm is formed,Finally stored in the lungs. In a word, expectoration is a long way, clearing the lung can only cure the symptoms, and strengthening the spleen can cure the root cause.

Does swallowing the sputum affect the body?
basically no. Why do you say that? To explain briefly, the sputum is coughed up by a person, and it takes the trachea, but if the sputum is swallowed by a person, it takes the esophagus. The sputum that enters the esophagus is the same as other foods, there is not much difference, it slides directly into the stomach, and passes through the body's metabolism together with other foods, and is finally discharged through .In this complete set of procedures, bacteria and harmful substances in the sputum will basically be eliminated by the immune system and can no longer cause trouble.
Of course, this is only an occasional event, so you don’t need to worry too much, but we need to remind everyone that some patients cough and expectorate because of tuberculosis . At this time, the sputum cannot be swallowed because of . Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the esophagus and causes infection of the digestive system.
Finally, let me talk about cold knowledge, "Pan" through "Mul". The anus is the place where the dross comes from, so it is called "Maumen" or "Paomen".
