Many friends don’t usually cough, but they always spit. Some spit a few mouthfuls every morning when they get up, and some are so severe that they spit all day long. There is no problem when they go to the hospital for examination, but they always spit endlessly. ! It's so annoying! What's wrong with spitting all day long?
In fact, the root cause is cold dampness ! Phlegm itself is the product of yin and cold, especially white and watery phlegm. If there is too much cold and dampness in the body, phlegm will increase.
Under normal circumstances, the water in the body is transported by the spleen and stomach and transferred to part of the lungs. The water is vaporized by Yang Qi and expelled from the body with breathing. This is why the air we exhale contains water.
If the yang energy in the body is insufficient , the spleen and lungs are deficient and cold, and there is no yang energy to convert the water in the lungs, it will condense into phlegm. Such phlegm will be white in color and you will keep spitting because the lungs are weak. A device for storing phlegm. The spleen is the source of phlegm. What does that mean? The root cause of excessive phlegm is the spleen. Spleen deficiency is unable to transport water and dampness, so the problem of excessive phlegm will occur. Therefore, clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm is the symptom, while warming the spleen and strengthening the spleen is the root cause. At this time, you can use and . Let’s take a look at the composition of Lizhong Pills:
Ginseng Dried Ginger Zhigancao Atractylodes
Ginseng strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, warms and strengthens the essence, Atractylodes strengthens the spleen and removes dampness warms and replenishes qi. The qi-tonifying function of ginseng is a To replenish qi in a certain way out of nothing, while the replenishing qi of Atractylodes comes slowly, it needs to strengthen the spleen, and then transport it.
Then why do you need to replenish your Qi? In fact, many people with excessive phlegm have damaged spleens. Spleen deficiency affects the transportation and transformation of nutrients. The food we eat cannot be converted into nutrients and transported to the whole body. This will lead to qi deficiency, lack of energy, sleepiness, and inability to move. Therefore, the prescription uses ginseng to replenish qi quickly, and Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi to slowly restore the vitality of spleen and stomach .
Then add dried ginger. We all know that ginger is warm in nature. After catching cold, wind or rain, many people will drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold and warm up. So dry ginger is used here. In addition to Dried ginger also plays an important role in warming the body and dispersing cold. It can also restore yang and transform into water. Drinking is water that is thin, which means that all body fluids are thin, including watery stools, runny nose, thin saliva, and excessive urination. Symptoms such as dizziness and whiteness are the main indications for dry ginger. Finally, Zhigancao is added to replenish qi and reconcile various medicines. The combination of four medicinal materials in this recipe can make the spleen and stomach yang abundant and eliminate cold evil, so it can improve the spleen and stomach. Deficiency and cold always cause symptoms such as phlegm, coughing up earthy white or watery sputum, as well as vomiting, abdominal pain, reduced diet, loose stools and other symptoms caused by cold and dampness.
In addition, the weather is very hot now, but many people turn on air conditioners in their homes and workplaces. Some people will sneeze as soon as they enter an air-conditioned room. When they encounter cold air, they will sneeze and have a runny nose, which is a sign of cold and damp stagnation in the body.
Even if many children do not have a cold, they usually have constant runny noses, which will be more serious if they wear less clothing or encounter cold air. As a parent, I am also very worried, because this disease is not easy to get rid of the root cause, and it can easily develop into chronic rhinitis, causing turbinate hypertrophy, etc., which is really distressing.
In fact, the root cause of often runny nose is excessive cold and dampness in the body. Snot is the fluid of the lungs. If the lungs are cold, your nose will have clear runny nose. If you get a little cold, the nose will flow down like water. Sneezing when encountering cold air is also caused by excessive cold evil in the body and deficiency of lung defense yang. Because there is a lot of cold and dampness in the body, sneezing is used to invigorate the yang energy and expel the cold and dampness. How can we expel lung cold? In fact, it also warms the yang energy of the spleen and stomach. Because metal is born in earth, if the yang energy of the spleen and stomach is sufficient, cold and dampness in the lungs will naturally disappear.
In addition, today has entered the first day of the dog days of and , which is a good time to expel cold and dampness, so if you have phlegm, cough with white or watery phlegm, and runny nose, which is heavy with cold and dampness, In this case, you can take advantage of the weather to remove cold and dampness from the body.
