Hello everyone, I am Dr. Liu. We often say that all diseases are caused by phlegm. Phlegm can follow the qi in our body and get sick wherever we stay. If you stay in the lungs, you will cough; if you stay in the spleen and stomach, you will often feel nausea and vomiting; if you stay in the kidneys, you will cause edema in the lower limbs. So how does phlegm form?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is the source of phlegm, the lung is the qi that stores phlegm, and the kidney is the root of phlegm." Why is there such a saying? In fact, phlegm is the product of the accumulation of water in our body, and the generation, transportation, transformation and excretion of water are mainly related to the three internal organs of the spleen, lungs, and kidneys. If the spleen's transportation and transformation function, the lung's propagation and descending function, and the kidney's excretion function will be abnormal, it will lead to the endogenous development of water and dampness, and gathering will lead to phlegm. Today, Dr. Liu will divide phlegm into several common symptoms, and let me tell you about it.

The first coughs in the lungs. If the phlegm and blood stasis are blocked in the lungs, it is easy to cough. Why do you say so? The main function of the lung is to lift and lower the qi. If the phlegm and blood stasis block the function of the lung qi, it will cough if it is blocked. If you are infected with cold evil, you will experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, asthma, and fever. At this time, we need to invigorate qi and relieve exterior symptoms, regulate qi and eliminate phlegm. You can refer to Sansu Yin to relieve wind and cold, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough.

The second is in the kidney, and it is swollen. We say that the kidney controls water and can regulate and metabolize water. If kidney yang is insufficient , the kidney's qi transformation function will cause water and dampness, which will accumulate and form phlegm. Phlegm and blood stasis block the kidneys and the water cannot be excreted, which will lead to edema of the lower limbs. It also has symptoms such as sore waist and legs, dizziness and tinnitus. At this time, we can refer to Jinkui Shenqi Wan to warm and nourish kidney yang, promote qi and transform water.

The third is in the stomach and vomits . The phlegm stagnates in the spleen and stomach, affecting the function of the spleen and stomach transportation and transformation. If the spleen and stomach fail to harmonize, you will always feel nauseous and vomiting. At the same time, this type of people usually have a bad appetite, always feel bloating, can't sleep well at night, and always feel heavy and weak in all the limbs. The stool is also relatively thin. At this time, we need to remove dryness, phlegm and dampness, regulate qi and stomach. You can refer to Erchen Wan .
