Everyone always thinks that there is phlegm when coughing, so phlegm comes from the lungs, but Chinese medicine believes that spleen is the source of phlegm.

The spleen will absorb the delicate Shui Gu and nutrients in food and transport them to the whole body. If its transportation function becomes worse, the delicate Shui Gu will stop gathering, gather dampness and produce phlegm, and phlegm dampness will appear. Therefore, we always feel that coughing is accompanied by phlegm.

If the sputum is mainly white, and there are teeth marks on both sides of the tongue, it will be uncomfortable to eat cold stomach and indigestion, accompanied by irregular stool, easy diarrhea and other symptoms. I always feel uncomfortable with my spleen and stomach at ordinary times, so be careful of excessive phlegm and dampness caused by spleen deficiency.

The method of invigorating spleen, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm should be adopted in treatment, and adding magnolia officinalis and almond to Guizhi decoction can solve these symptoms well.

Guizhi decoction is composed of Cinnamomum cassia twig, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Fructus Jujubae, and Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, and has the effects of pungent warming, relieving exterior syndrome, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, and harmonizing ying and wei.

Guizhi Shujin Dispels Cold in the prescription; Also use peony to benefit the yin and gather camp. The combination of Osmanthus fragrans and Paeonia suffruticosa, one for strengthening the body, the other for weakening the body, and the combination of harmonizing the body and health, must be used for each other.

Ginger is pungent and warm, which not only helps Guizhi relax tendons, but also warms the stomach and stops vomiting. Jujube is sweet and flat, which can not only replenish qi, but also strengthen the spleen and promote fluid production. The combination of ginger and jujube can also nourish the spleen and stomach, promote hair growth, and reconcile the camp and the health.

Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata has two uses: first, it is used as an adjuvant, benefiting qi and harmonizing middle energizer, relaxing tendons with Guizhi, and benefiting yin with Paeonia lactiflora; The second is to make drugs and reconcile various drugs.

Magnolia officinalis stimulates spleen and eliminates dampness; When the almond goes down to the upper, middle and lower triple energizer, the lung qi drops, and the waterway opens, the cough naturally stops. Magnolia officinalis wakes up the spleen and eliminates dampness, and phlegm disappears by itself. For people whose spleen deficiency is mainly white phlegm or clear phlegm, the effect of using this prescription is obvious.
