The theoretical basis of this article: "A Thousand Gold Essential Prescriptions", "Tangxin Materia Medica"
Hello, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner and a small medicine doctor.
In today's article, I want to talk about the topic of phlegm and dampness with you.
Chinese medicine often says that all diseases are caused by sputum. The term "sputum" in Chinese medicine does not only refer to the sputum that is produced in the lungs and can be excreted through coughing. It also includes water metabolism. The pathological products that are produced by obstacles and conform to the characteristics of muddy, viscous, and thick, belong to the internal accumulation of waste.
For example, obesity is called "phlegm" in Chinese medicine. Since this "phlegm" is not intuitively recognized by us like the phlegm in the lungs, Chinese medicine also calls it "invisible" "Sputum", and the sputum that is produced in the lungs and can be excreted through coughing and can be seen is called "tangible sputum". These two together constitute the concept of "phlegm" in Chinese medicine.
Many people may wonder, how is the "phlegm" in our body produced?
In fact, there are many reasons for the formation of phlegm and dampness, such as the well-known who loves to eat cold foods and sweets, sits for a long time and does not exercise, alcoholism, and always eats fatty meat, etc., will cause the formation of phlegm and dampness in the body.
So, the question is, is there any prescription for preventing phlegm and dampness? Have! It is Wendan Decoction. It can be used for damp heat, damp cold, phlegm dampness.
First, let's take a look at its composition first-
Poria, Pinellia, Citrus aurantium, Zhigancao, Tangerine Peel, Zhuru. For the above, one dose per day, boiled water for drinking.
What role does each of these groups play?
First of all,We all know that the Citrus aurantium used here is to break the qi and go down. We know that marching wars are all about strategy. The siege requires vanguard troops, and Citrus aurantium is the first in this recipe, and secondly, it is used again. Pinellia and tangerine peel. Pinellia is mainly used to dispel phlegm and dampness. It is combined with tangerine peel that dispels phlegm and dampness. It is the most common two generals to resolve phlegm and dampness.
Here again, the Poria used in it can invigorate the spleen, soak dampness, and remove phlegm and clear away heat from bamboo ruins. These two medicines are the aftermath of this recipe. Finally, combined with licorice will directly replenish the spleen and replenish the spleen and stomach. Body fluid and blood.
The whole prescription can relieve stomach qi, relieve stagnation of liver and gallbladder, warm yang and promote qi, remove dampness and phlegm, so as to regulate the body's qi, and it is especially helpful for sleep. These six medicines are all common things, and they don't blindly taste expensive Chinese medicines. But when they are combined, they can perform magical effects.
