In daily life, we often encounter such troubles: phlegm is too much to vomit, and the throat is itchy and sore, which makes people very uncomfortable. Sputum is a natural secretion of the human respiratory tract, and under normal circumstances, the formation and expulsion of sputum is a virtuous cycle process. However, when the respiratory tract is irritated by inflammation, allergies, or other factors, the secretion of sputum increases, resulting in excessive sputum spitting.
Today, I would like to share with you an ancient recipe to help you solve this problem. This ancient recipe is in an ancient medical classic "Compendium of Materia Medica" in China, called "Erchen Tang". Erchen decoction has the effect of drying dampness and dissolving phlegm, regulating qi and neutralization, and has a good conditioning effect on people with a lot of phlegm and a refreshing throat.
How to make Erchen soup]:
1.Prepare medicinal herbs: 10 grams of Fabanxia, 10 grams of orange red, 10 grams of citrus aurantium, 15 grams of Poria cocos, 6 grams of licorice.
2.Put the above herbs into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and soak for 30 minutes.
3.Decoction the soaked herbs and water together, turn to low heat after boiling, and continue to decoction for 20-30 minutes.
4.After the decoction is completed, take out the medicinal juice and take it warmly in two parts, one in the morning and one in the evening.
It should be noted that Erchen decoction is suitable for people with phlegm-dampness blockage and poor qi. Always consult a medical professional before using this medicine to ensure that your body is suitable for this medicine. In addition, pregnant women, lactating women, and patients with chronic diseases should use it under the guidance of a doctor.
In addition to using ancient recipes for conditioning, we can also improve the problem of excessive phlegm with the following dry food suggestions:
1.Maintain indoor air circulation: Indoor air circulation can help reduce the growth of bacteria and viruses and reduce the risk of respiratory infections.
2.Increase water intake: Adequate water intake can help dilute phlegm and make it easier to pass. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your airways moist.
3.Good respiratory hygiene: wash your hands frequently, wear a mask, and avoid contact with cold viruses and bacteria to reduce the chance of respiratory infections.
4.Diet: Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, especially foods that have phlegm and cough suppressants, such as pears, monk fruit, ginkgo seeds, etc. Avoid foods that are too greasy, spicy, and irritating to avoid aggravating respiratory tract inflammation.
5.Strengthen exercise: appropriately increase outdoor exercise, improve physical fitness, and enhance immunity.
6.Maintain a good routine: Adequate sleep and rest can help the body heal itself and reduce the burden on the respiratory tract.
7.Learn to relieve stress: Negative emotions such as nervousness and anxiety can lead to increased phlegm, so learning to regulate your mind and keep your mood good will help reduce phlegm production.
8.When coughing up a lot of phlegm, you can use acupressure methods, such as kneading Tiantu acupoint, Jizhong acupoint, etc., to promote the discharge of phlegm.
In short, the problem of phlegm can be solved through a variety of methods such as ancient prescription conditioning, dietary adjustment, and lifestyle improvement. You can try these methods in practice to find the most suitable method for yourself, get rid of the trouble of phlegm, and make your throat more refreshing. Of course, if the symptoms of phlegm accumulation continue to worsen, it is important to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
In addition to the above methods, there are also some dietary remedies that can help us alleviate the symptoms of excessive phlegm, and the following are a few commonly used dietary remedies:
1.Pear juice: Squeeze the pear juice, add an appropriate amount of honey, stir well and drink. Pears have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, clearing heat and dissolving phlegm.
2.Ginger brown sugar water: Slice the ginger, add an appropriate amount of brown sugar and water, and bring to a boil before drinking. Ginger has the effect of warming the lungs and dissipating cold, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
3.Chuanbei loquat paste: boil Chuanbei, loquat leaves, honey and other medicinal materials into paste according to a certain proportion, and eat it in moderation every day. Chuanbei loquat paste has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
4.Ginkgo porridge: Peel the ginkgo seeds and cook the porridge with rice. Ginkgo seeds have the effect of clearing heat and dissolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma.
When consuming dietary prescriptions, it is also necessary to pay attention to the individual's differences, and choose the appropriate dietary prescription according to your own constitution and symptoms. At the same time, dietary therapy can only be used as an adjunct, not as a substitute for medicine**. If the symptoms do not improve, please seek medical attention promptly.
Here, I would like to remind everyone that the problem of phlegm is not a one-day cold, and conditioning also requires a process.
