In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs are the main qi, the breath is breathing, and the opening of the nose is open. If the lungs are dysfunctional, it can lead to poor breathing and various respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis. Symptoms of bronchitis include coughing, sputum production, wheezing, etc., of which sputum production is one of the most common symptoms. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the phlegm symptoms of bronchitis are often related to yang deficiency and cold severity.
In my years of TCM practice, I often encounter some bronchitis patients whose sputum is white, thin or foamy. These patients are often accompanied by symptoms of yang deficiency and coldness, such as chills, warmth of hands and feet, and paleness. After careful dialectical treatment, I found that the bronchitis of these patients is often related to yang deficiency and cold severity.
It is recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing: "If the body is attacked by the cold, or the diet is too cold, it will damage the yang energy of the lungs and lead to lung dysfunction. Yang Qi is the driving force of the human body's vital activities, if Yang Qi is insufficient, it will lead to weakness of the body, decreased resistance, and easy to be invaded by the outside world. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, yang deficiency and cold severity refer to the lack of yang qi in the human body, and the invasion of cold and evil spirits, resulting in symptoms such as coldness, weakness, and pain in the body. The symptoms of yang deficiency and cold in bronchitis patients are often related to the lack of yang qi in the lungs. Insufficient yang energy in the lungs will lead to lung dysfunction, and the phlegm cannot be discharged normally, forming white, thin or foamy sputum.
So, how to ** bronchitis?In my opinion, the key to bronchitis is to warm the yang and dispel the cold, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a traditional Chinese medicine called cinnamon, which has the effects of warming yang and dissipating cold, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough. Cinnamon can replenish the body's yang energy, dispel cold evils, promote blood circulation, and help phlegm discharge. In my diagnosis and treatment, I often use cinnamon to ** bronchitis patients, and I have achieved good results. In addition, according to the specific situation of the patient, I will also use other traditional Chinese medicines, such as ephedra, almond, banxia, tangerine peel, etc., to enhance the efficacy.
In addition to Chinese medicine**, I also advise patients to pay attention to their diet and Xi habits. In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid eating cold, greasy, spicy and other irritating foods, and eat more foods that warm the yang and dispel cold, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, such as ginger, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, green onions, etc. In terms of life, we should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid catching colds, and carry out appropriate physical exercise to enhance the body's resistance.
There is a record in the Compendium of Materia Medica: "Cinnamon, replenishing the fire of the life, curing yang deficiency and cold poison", which means that cinnamon can supplement the fire of the human body's life, **yang deficiency and cold poison. Cinnamon is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effects of warming the yang and dissipating cold, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, cinnamon can replenish the body's yang energy, dispel cold evil, promote blood circulation, and help phlegm discharge. Cinnamon is often used for respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as kidney yang deficiency, cold pain in the heart and abdomen, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea and other diseases. In modern medicine, cinnamon has also been shown to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other effects.
In addition to cinnamon, there are also some traditional Chinese medicines that also have the effects of warming yang and dissipating cold, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough, such as ephedra, almonds, banxia, tangerine peel, etc. These herbs can be used alone or in combination, and dialectical treatment can be carried out according to the specific situation of the patient.
In conclusion, bronchitis is a common respiratory disease, and its phlegm symptoms are often related to yang deficiency and cold severity. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the key to bronchitis is to warm the yang and dispel cold, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough. Traditional Chinese medicine cinnamon has the effect of warming yang and dissipating cold, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough, and can be used for bronchitis. In the process, it is also necessary to pay attention to the Xi of diet and lifestyle, avoid eating cold, greasy, spicy and other irritating foods, and properly carry out physical exercise to enhance the body's resistance.
