The most important sign of sputum in the body is The tongue coating is thick and greasy .

In short: Fenglong point is the collateral point of Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian . It is not allowed to go to Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian .

Licorice: grows in sandy soil, has a sweet taste and a yellow color. From the perspective of the "Book of Changes", it happens to be the best choice for nourishing the spleen and replenishing qi, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough.
phlegm is the product of malfunctioning water metabolism in the human body. Its production is mainly closely related to the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and it is the closest to the spleen. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "The spleen is the source of phlegm", "The spleen does not leave dampness and does not produce phlegm", . Fenglong point is the lucid point of the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. It is not only in the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, which can treat diseases on the spleen and stomach meridians at the same time. Therefore, massaging this point can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and make dampness and phlegm melt itself.

Of course, it would be even better if you could buy pure sesame oil. Use sesame oil as cooking oil in your daily diet, and it will not take long to eliminate the phlegm.
