The essence of phlegm is a water-based pathological product. The phlegm in the lungs is mostly formed due to foreign pathogens invading the lungs, the lungs are not clear, and the body fluid metabolism is abnormal, such as wind-cold cough, wind-heat cough; Such as asthma, from the perspective of modern medicine, the “evil entering water” nature of phlegm can be more clearly explained, such as infectious cough, expectoration is the invasion of microorganisms into the respiratory system, the inflammatory stress secretions of the respiratory tract and the body’s passage of microbial cells, The pus or neutralized substances formed by humoral immunity are mixed together to form sputum; the sputum of bronchial asthma is the formation of mucus induced by allergic factors and caused by abnormal secretion of airway inflammatory cells, which are all pathological processes of “evil entering water”.
Exogenous phlegm. The origin of phlegm is the invasion of exogenous pathogens, the intermediate link is the lack of smooth air, and the end point is the abnormal distribution of body fluid. Exogenous pathogens are most likely to invade the muscle surface and lung system. “Exogenous phlegm” can be substituted with “expectatory phlegm”. Phlegm-drinking is mainly produced in the lungs. Cough is a pathophysiological stress response of the body to drive out the evil of phlegm-drinking.
Therefore, the basic method of treating exogenous phlegm is to remove the evil that invades the lung, regulate the qi mechanism of the lung, and dispel the generated phlegm. The qi movement of the lung is mainly reflected in the aspects of dispersing, reducing, and regulating waterways. The dysfunction of dispersing, reducing, and adjusting waterways is an intermediate pathological link that promotes the production of sputum.
Those who are not able to promote hair can choose ephedra, platycodon, cohosh, and cinnamon, these drugs can help the lungs to promote hair, loquat, asters, aurantium shell, agarwood, and citrus aurantium to promote the reduction
:Draining and regulating the water channel is a part of the qi-regulating mechanism. Dilong, Tongcao, Reed Root, Tinglizi, and Poria can regulate the water channel.
Dispelling the generated phlegm: Common methods of expectorant drugs Pinellia, Campanulaceae. Bamboo Ru, White Mustard Seed, Aster, Tianzhu Huang, Melon Peel, Houttuynia cordata. Golden buckwheat, etc., you can choose Erchen Tang and Qingqi Huatan Tang. Mulberry white skin soup and so on.
The phlegm of qi stagnation. Qi stagnation of phlegm is firstly related to the abnormal rise and fall of the spleen and stomach, and secondly, the liver and gallbladder are also strongly related. The manifestations are common in the throat, and the treatment includes soothing the liver and gallbladder, strengthening the middle, regulating qi and promoting the lungs, and smoothing emotions.
Shugan and gallbladder can be relieved by Bupleurum, turmeric, dandelion, money grass, bergamot, Cyperus officinalis, Tribulus terrestris, etc.,
Jianzhong can be used as chicken Neijin, Astragalus, Chinese yam , Atractylodes, Citrus Citrus, Citrus Citrus, Pinellia Fructus, Poria, Inula, etc.
You can choose tangerine peel, Citrus Citrus, Ephedra, Su Ye, etc. for regulating Qi and Xuanfei. Calamus, Polygala, Acacia, Lily, etc. It can also be based on Banxia Houpu Tang or Yuejuwan plus shout.
The phlegm of perennial roots. The most common one is asthma, which is mostly caused by deficiency of both qi and yang, and stagnation of cold phlegm. The treatment idea is to benefit warm yang, warm phlegm and dissolve phlegm.
Positive phlegm. The phlegm of Zheng-deficiency emphasizes that Zheng-deficiency plays a large part in the production of sputum, and this kind of phlegm is more “watery”. Deficiency of righteous qi, especially the insufficiency of transportation and transformation of spleen deficiency, insufficiency of lung deficiency and insufficiency in regulating and regulating, and insufficiency of kidney deficiency and warming, can cause water and fluid to run poorly and accumulate phlegm. Warming the kidney to cure the root cause, and then expelling phlegm and dissolving the drink to cure the symptoms.
The glue sticks. Its symptoms are usually numbness, soreness and discomfort, fluctuating cold and heat, tremors, abnormal consciousness, tumors and other strange symptoms.
To get rid of glue-solid phlegm, one should make good use of the ideas of dispersing knots and eliminating phlegm, “increasing water and removing phlegm”, clearing collaterals and eliminating phlegm, and removing phlegm and going out. Mother, seaweed, kelp, cat’s claw, southern star, honeysuckle, forsythia, etc.,
Increasing water and phlegm can use reed root, trichosanthin, Zhu Ru, Tianzhu Huang, Rehmannia glutinosa, North and South ginseng, etc. To remove phlegm, you can use silkworm, centipede, white mustard seed, tongcao, etc.
Expel phlegm and go out refers to choosing an appropriate outlet to guide phlegm out of the body.
Invisible Phlegm. No formed solid sputum is coughed up or discharged; there are phlegm signs such as dizziness, nausea, lumps, numbness, greasy fur. It is mostly due to eating too much fat, sweet and thick flavor, and the body takes in too much nutrition and turns into phlegm, such as obesity, fatty liver, high blood lipids, etc.; phlegm is blocked somewhere in the body and cannot be discharged, such as phlegm soaked. Muscle atrophy, swollen lymph nodes with phlegm and blood stasis. Treatment is commonly used to invigorate the spleen to help transport, clear the collaterals and move qi, and remove turbidity and phlegm.
In this case, the dog suddenly coughed up sputum, aged 2 months, and there was dog food in the sputum, which was suspected to be related to the abnormal rise and fall of the spleen and stomach. , French Pinellia, Poria, Inula flowers and other treatments, Chinese patent medicine has Baohe Pills.
