Laryngitis is a common condition characterized by discomfort and pain caused by inflammation of the throat. Many people experience a sore throat when they have a cold, which is generally considered to be laryngitis. But in reality, a sore throat is not necessarily laryngitis, it is usually just a symptom of laryngitis.
Laryngitis is caused by a variety of factors, including viral infections, bacterial infections, allergies, contact with irritants, etc. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, pharyngitis mostly belongs to the category of "pharyngeal paralysis", that is, the flow of qi and blood in the throat is not smooth, resulting in the onset of inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of pharyngitis is related to factors such as dampness and heat in the body, lung heat, and kidney deficiency.
For the relief of pharyngitis, we can use the classic prescription of traditional Chinese medicine**. First of all, you can use Coptis supernatant pills, which can clear away heat and detoxify, improve pharyngeal and open sound, and is suitable for damp heat and sore throat. Secondly, you can also use Xuanshen Maidong Soup, which has the effect of clearing heat and moisturizing the throat, and is suitable for severe symptoms, accompanied by cough and hoarseness. In addition, apricot paste tea is also a commonly used method, which can moisturize the throat, relieve cough and reduce phlegm, and is suitable for the symptoms of dry cough and sore throat.
In addition to medications**, some TCM health care methods can also be used for the relief of laryngitis. For example, take plenty of rest, avoid excessive use of your voice, smoking and other behaviors that irritate your throat, maintain good laryngeal hygiene, drink plenty of warm water, etc. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine such as cupping, moxibustion, acupuncture, etc., can also be performed to promote the circulation of qi and blood and improve the symptoms of laryngitis.
In general, laryngitis is a common disease, and sore throat is just a symptom of pharyngitis, which can be relieved by combining traditional Chinese medicine theories and classic prescriptions. However, the symptoms and symptoms of laryngitis may vary, so it is best to consult a doctor or TCM practitioner when choosing a method to ensure that it is safe and effective.
