What's wrong with a cough that doesn't go away and a lot of phlegm when I'm getting over a cold? I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good look at this, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good look at this. The cold is not a disease, it is the body's positive energy to resist the evil a necessary process. Our bodies have a breath of real yang, this little bit of yang qi sustained life, but also protect the body from the intrusion of evil. The human body feels wind and cold, causing colds. The so-called cold is the evil from the surface into the inside, and the body's yang qi fight, and some of the reactions, such as sneezing, headache, body pain, nasal congestion, runny nose, cold, fever and so on. Colds start with the solar epidemiology, which means that the evil qi enters the body from the solar meridian, which is the main body's epidemiology. The solar meridian is full of yang qi, so yang qi begins to resist the invasion of evil qi. Therefore, a cold is a process in which the positive qi resists the evil qi, and in a sense, it is also an indication of whether the positive qi is sufficient or not. Therefore, if the positive qi is sufficient, the evil qi is driven away and the cold is quickly cured. If the positive qi is not sufficient, then the evil qi stays in the body and the cold lasts for a long time, so much so that it is difficult to be cured. Even if there is a slight breeze, the body can not overcome its evil, and the symptoms of colds, several times a year, frequent episodes. Therefore, it can be said that the nature of the cold, is the body's vitality of the self-expulsion reaction. Colds are often accompanied by fever, in fact, the so-called fever, but is a natural reaction to the fight between good and evil, it can be said that there is a point of fever means that the body still has a point of Yang Qi. This is a good thing, indicating that our body's Yang Qi is not weak. Those who have weak yang qi and catch a cold usually do not have a fever, and even if they do have a fever, it is not a high fever. This is because their yang qi is insufficient, and the evil qi meets no resistance and naturally goes straight to the level of the three yin. Think about it, after thirty-five years of age, is it true that you seldom have a high fever after catching a cold? Don't think it's a good thing, hurry up and find your TCM practitioner to replenish your vital energy. After treatment, if you have a high fever, that is something to be congratulated, indicating that your vital energy is sufficient to fight fiercely against evil. Treating a cold also means just helping the positive energy of the organism to drive out the evil energy. Therefore, colds are very treatable. If the positive energy is strong, open the doors and windows to let the evil energy go out; if the positive energy is weak, help the positive energy while opening the doors and windows so that the evil energy can go out as well. Why is it that such an easy thing cannot be cured for a long time, and why does it even turn into a serious disease or even a chronic disease? We can not help but seriously think about whether our understanding of colds is reasonable. The key problem is the massive abuse of antibiotics to reduce fever, although the surface symptoms temporarily disappeared, but soon bound to appear more serious other symptoms. This is because antibiotics belong to the cold and cool category of drugs, which will harm the vital energy, leading to insufficient resistance of the vital energy, and the evil energy is able to penetrate deeper into the level of the three yin meridians. In fact, the use of cold and heat-clearing Chinese medicine to reduce fever and antibiotics to reduce fever are the same way, the harm is the same. Such a cure is tantamount to harm! Unfortunately, the current antibiotic abuse, although there is national legislation to prohibit the abuse of antibiotics, but the effect is not obvious. Various large and small hospitals in the country are competing to use antibiotics to reduce fever, the more they use them, the more bold they become, the more they feel good, so the antibiotics are getting out of control, and the result is that the health of the whole country is spoiled. In this regard, children and adolescents are the hardest hit. As parents, I do not know how to feel? According to traditional Chinese medicine, fever is the best treatment for colds! Fever itself is a process of dispelling evil by positive energy; therefore, those who are afraid of fever are bound to draw the evil deeper into the body. Doctors who help their patients in their efforts to reduce fever are actually trying to surrender to the invaders. Understanding the above, Chinese medicine treatment of colds is to identify the yin and yang, with the six meridians identifying the prescription as the best. If the evil is in the three yang points, it will be manifested as symptoms of the yang point such as fever, thirst, liking cold drinks, dry stools, yellow and red urine, nasal sounding, exchanges of chills and fever, bitter taste in the mouth, dizziness, etc.; if the evil is in the three yin points, it will be manifested as symptoms of the yin point such as loose stools, clear and long urination, nasal flow of clear mucus, coughing and weakness, and fear of cold. According to the different levels, with the treatment of menstruation, one or two medicines can be effective. However, the common cold in general is mostly a simple external cold infection. At this time, the disease is in the solar meridian, the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing has long had a clear training, sweating to relieve the surface can be. Why? The sun is the giant yang, is the yang qi exuberant place, its function is to protect our organism from external evils. In other words, it is only when the Yang energy of the Sun is deficient that evil will invade. Therefore, to treat the Sun, Yang should be the method and the goal. Therefore, more pungent, warm and dispersing medicines should be used for treating colds, while fewer or no cold medicines should be used, otherwise it would be adding insult to injury! If you use antibiotics or Shuanghuanglian (双黄连), which are cold medicines, to treat a cold, it will only get worse. Although advertisements say every day that Shuanghuanglian is good for treating colds, it is cheating you out of your money, and if you still believe in it, you are either stupid or have no brain. Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases of Typhoid" is a classic for treating all miscellaneous diseases and difficult illnesses, and of course it is also a classic for treating colds. With this book to cure colds, according to my clinical observation for many years, often one or two pairs of drugs on the good, that is, a day to cure the cold is not difficult. That's all. Those who don't know it think it's magical, and those who know it think it's nothing. This is the wisdom of the ancients in China, but unfortunately the current generation of Chinese medicine practitioners refused to properly in the diamond classics, or keep one or two of the so-called ancestral recipes to muddle through, or headlong to the camp of Western medicine grabbed with the three elements of a soup (antibiotics, vitamins, hormones, plus a glucose), with the use of good or bad not to mention that at least mixed a lot of black money, but also mixed a decent doctor look. Moreover, the biggest characteristic of such people is that they once learned Chinese medicine, but they think that Chinese medicine can not look after the disease, that Chinese medicine will not cure the disease. They talk so much about themselves that they have misled many people who believe in Chinese medicine. The result is that Chinese medicine has become extinct in their hands, and they have become the pouting grave people of Chinese medicine. Cold is the sun disease, the sun disease of the main formula has two: one is Gui Zhi Tang, one is Ephedra Tang. One is for typhoid and the other is for typhoid. In typhoid, the positive qi is dispersed externally and there is sweating; in typhoid, the evil qi is internalized and there is no sweating. The body is soft in typhoid and heavy in typhoid. Both **** the same characteristics are: head and neck strong pain and cold. Therefore, all changes are not different, all the treatment of cold and flu formula is centered around the ephedra soup and cinnamon stick soup. 57 years Chairman Mao cold and fever, many treatment does not get better, Shandong famous doctor Liu Huimin only used two payments of Qinglong soup (ephedra soup plus gypsum) on the heat back off the disease. Chairman Mao therefore said: "Chinese medicine is good." Nowadays, the treatment of colds is to go to the hospital and hang water. Do not realize that a cold is not inflammation, where there is what bacterial infection! Secondly, the misuse of antibiotics to reduce fever actually destroys the body's yang qi, leading to the entry of evil qi into the yin division. Although the surface symptoms temporarily disappear, but soon will inevitably appear more serious symptoms of internal organ malfunction. Clinics often find patients with rhinitis, myocarditis, and nephritis due to common colds, all of which are caused by mis-treatment leading evil qi into the three yin levels. Acute myocarditis occurs when evil qi enters the heart meridian of the Shaoyin of the hand, and acute nephritis occurs when it enters the kidney meridian of the Shaoyin of the foot, which is still caused by the entry of evil qi into the level of the Shaoyin. In this sense, cold and fever should not be treated with any cold medicine. Fever is the body's normal antidisease response to resist the cold evil and endeavor to make the cold evil dissipate, and the fever will subside when sweating occurs. In fact, a simple treatment with acupuncture can quickly reduce fever, far better than any antibiotic. If cold medicines are abused, the yang qi of the organism is damaged, and if the yang qi is incapable of dispelling the evil, then the evil qi enters the three yin from the yang portion of the body surface, and the symptoms disappear. However, the evil qi thus lurks in the three yin, and sooner or later in the future it will produce a big disease out of it. This situation is more common nowadays, and it is one of the reasons why many people develop big and serious illnesses. In the current society, people's physique is more on the side of deficiency and cold, and the evil qi of external infection is mostly wind-cold. Therefore, those who are prone to catching colds mostly belong to the type of yang deficiency, and they should support yang qi to get rid of the evil, and try not to use cold antidote medicine. This type of patient cold rarely fever, but fear of cold is very obvious, at this time if the abuse of antibiotics, will greatly harm the human body's yang qi, leading to the evil deep into the body, and even cause yang off sudden death. The media often report a patient for cold hanging water and sudden death, that is because the heart and kidney two meridians by cold drugs a stimulus, resulting in sudden Yang off and caused. This kind of thing in you and me around less? Some people do not seem to care about their own health, a little cold, that is, a large number of swallowed Chinese and Western medicines, but do not know that this method of eating medicine, will only hurt the Yang Qi, is not conducive to healing. Some people believe in advertising, see fever that is a large number of cold medicine, drink herbal tea, said to cold to heat, the results of the more you eat the more fever, that is, you have the body of yang in the insistence of the war, if you eat not to burn, you think it is a happy thing, I think it is sad and lamentable things. Here is a list of common anti-flu western medicines on the market, such as Quick, cold a grain of spirit, paracetamol, Chen Gong Zaixin (compound zinc cloth granules), pediatric fast-acting cold and flu flush, white plus black, cold and flu through, fast-acting cold capsule, and so on. All these drugs have certain toxic side effects and should not be abused. There are more than one hundred kinds of cold viruses, and no western medicine can be completely antiviral, but its side effects are huge, and the loss is not worth the gain. A large amount of clinical data show that improper use can appear a large number of toxic side effects: such as headache and dizziness, blurred vision, gastrointestinal bleeding, dehydration, decreased blood pressure, transient hematuria, hyperactivity, depression, insomnia, hallucinatory coma, convulsions, and even life-threatening. There are also reports that fast-acting typhoid capsules are an important factor in fetal teratogenicity. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently issued a public notice, saying that the treatment of coughs and colds in a number of integrated drugs containing dextromethorphan, an ingredient overdose may be life-threatening. Currently, patients can buy Tylenol, Day & Night Benadryl, and White & Black tablets at the drugstore, all of which contain this ingredient. Western medicine for colds and flu, and thus the side effects are too expensive, so why don't the Chinese use Chinese medicine? Even if such as Chinese medicine, for cold cold type of cold medicine, is also to prohibit the application. For example, VC Yin Qiao Tablets, Compound Dazheng Ye Tablets, Cold Spirit Punch, Cold and Flu Clear, Kang Bi De, etc., are both Chinese and Western medicines combined together. In addition, there are some bitter and cold proprietary Chinese medicines such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Clearing Heat and Removing Toxins Oral Liquid, Compound Dazhongye Combination, Yinhuang Oral Liquid (Contained Tablet), Compound Fishy Herb Tablet, Dai Ge Wang Tablet, Bitter Glycine Punch, Qingkailing Pellet, Panlangen Pellet, Monkey Earring Anti-inflammatory Capsules and so on, all of them are the bitter and cold and injurious to the yang, and should not be mislaid by the advertisements and abused. If you want to use proprietary Chinese medicines, it is best to look at the composition of the medicines on the packaging. If there are pungent and warm drugs, it is okay, if a faction of cold, it is a fraud, never can serve. No matter what the external sensation, due to cold, due to heat, there must be warm medicines only, otherwise it is ineffective and harmful. Say a few more words about pediatric colds. Children's energy is generally more adequate, cold is very easy to high fever, this is the child's energy in an effort to drive out the wind and cold that has invaded the surface of the muscle evil. If the indiscriminate consumption of Banlangen cold drugs, or go to the hospital to hang water, is to harm the child's vital energy, while the evil into the lead. As parents, all want to make their children healthy, but made this very stupid behavior! Pediatric colds can be treated with some pediatric massage, clearing the lung meridian, liver meridian, and Tianhe Shui, and tonifying the heart meridian and spleen meridian, which can achieve very significant results. Or find a good Chinese medicine practitioner and take a payload of pungent and warm herbs, or a zap of acupuncture, and you'll often be fine in a day. However, if a child who used to abuse hanging water a lot, he or she often does not get well easily after catching a cold because there is too much evil in the body, and he or she needs to be supported with enough positive qi time and again to expel it. The process of discharging the evil is also the process of the pediatrician's journey towards health. You can observe that, after the discharge of evil, the child's face is rosy, hands and feet are not cold, appetite increases, sleep is more solid, and the spirit of the child is fuller. These are all signs that the child's vital energy has been restored. Parents, seriously think about it. After going to the hospital to hang up water after the child will not appear the opposite performance? In fact, compared with the price of hanging water, Chinese medicine is simple and inexpensive to treat colds, which is the real correct way to treat colds. Therefore, cold is caused by cold in the body, and fever is the reaction of positive qi against disease. The treatment of colds should support the positive qi, dispel cold evil, when the use of pungent warm medicine, should not help cold fever with bitter cold medicine. The use of cold medicines to reduce fever is to attract the evil deep, is self-defeating. Alas, a good friend's daughter was harmed by Western medicine because of cold into myocarditis, after repeated treatment, said the disease is cured, but the evil also into the level of Shaoyin. So I was very anxious, and while treating my friend's daughter, I wrote these three articles about colds in my space. This is the third article. Simply put, when cold is introduced into the lungs, it develops into a cough. Coughing is also the body's resistance, and being able to cough indicates that the disease has not yet penetrated deep into the lower jiao. Often the lung yang deficiency of the body easily lead to such a disease, if you continue to clear the heat will not be cured for a long time, the light into chronic rhinitis, the heavy into chronic pharyngitis, the heaviest developed into asthma. At this time, it is necessary to subsidize the lung qi, and open the surface to dispel evil spirits, lower the qi and resolve phlegm. Use Jin Bo Cao San with Lizhong Tang. If the vegetative body is weak in yang, the three yang meridians are unable to fight the evil, and the evil may enter the level of the three yin. If it enters Taiyin, symptoms such as abdominal pain, thinness, diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, indigestion, etc. At this time, Spleen-Yang should be supported by Li-Zhong Pill with Pseudo-Zi. Due to the insufficiency of the Sun's meridian qi and its inability to resist the evil, the evil qi may go straight into the Shaoyin (the bottom level of the Sun), whereupon acute myocarditis, acute nephritis to renal failure, uremia, and so on, occur. This is the most common consequence of mistreatment, but it is not difficult to treat in the acute stage. At this time, we must immediately stop the treatment of Western medicine, if still obsessed, it is a real fool. Just use Ephedra, Epiphyllum, and Hypericum Tang to send out the evil qi from the Shaoyin level. General clinical common cold due to a large number of antibiotics after the emergence of asthma, quacks will continue to use a large number of hormones, on the surface, slowly asthma will be better, and then there is nephritis. This quack will say: I have cured your asthma, now it is no longer a respiratory disease, you can go to the nephrology department to see. So in the Department of Nephrology and abuse of cold, slowly became nephrotic syndrome, uremia, dialysis, kidney transplantation come and go. The patient spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, to live, to die will be close. In fact, the cause is just a common cold. How many big diseases and chronic diseases, are from a common cold through the wrong treatment started, such a lesson is not less? In the early stage of acute nephritis, just treat it as a cold, ephedra soup is the most effective. If the evil continues to go deeper, it is necessary to support the positive side of the open table, at least with the seeds of the soup can still be effective, and then later, that need to be a good Chinese medicine slowly for you to recognize the evidence and treatment. There are also colds and coughs that are slowly cured by cold medicine, but the disease has been deep into the lower jiao, from the lungs into the liver, until the level of the syncope, latent, affecting the liver's function of ascension and development, chronic hepatitis B virus carriers. Such a disease, so continue to treat as hepatitis, then all is lost. It would be a good formula to take Ume Pills instead. If the patient was born with a congenital deficiency, after abusing cold medicines to greatly injure the vital energy, the evil energy may enter the deepest layer of the Shaoyin, that is, the bone marrow, and thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, leukemia, and other blood disorders may occur. If hormones, chemotherapy, etc. continue to destroy the vital energy, then losing one's life after losing one's family is the inevitable end. Do you want to be healthy, or die of disease, or die of treatment? The patient can not think clearly.
