In many people’s minds, poppy shells are an addictive substance after being eaten. However, in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is Bailaosan, which is made of poppy shells and black plums. Stir-fry the shells with vinegar, then mash them with black plums into fine powder, 6-9 grams each time, drink with boiling water after meals, 3 times a day. It can cure years of cough and spontaneous sweating.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" explains why poppy shells are used: Poppy shells are sour and astringent, so they cannot be used when you are newly sick. Coughing for a long time will cause the Qi to disperse, causing the lungs to swell and aggravate the pain. Therefore, it is advisable to use this method to collect the lost healthy Qi and improve immunity.

The black plum meat is also sour and astringent, and is also a medicinal material that can reduce lung qi. It can astringe the lungs, pucker the intestines, and promote fluid production. It can be used for chronic cough due to lung deficiency.

In addition to astringent lung qi, the two herbs also have the effect of astringent intestines, which clearly explains the meaning of the lungs and large intestine.

Many friends may have questions, why do coughs and spontaneous sweating appear together for many years? This is because long-term coughing and wheezing damage the lungs. The lungs and the skin are related to each other on the outside and on the inside. People with insufficient lung qi will have loose skin on the surface, weak skin and loose skin, and the internal organs will release and cause spontaneous sweating.

If this kind of problem occurs, you can try to use Bailaosan. However, since everyone’s physical condition is different, the prescriptions provided in the article should be added or subtracted according to the patient’s own situation. It is recommended to find out before using Professional doctor guidance.
