First of all, we must understand a question, where does phlegm come from? Chinese medicine believes that "the spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lung is the device for storing phlegm". Therefore, the production of phlegm is mainly related to the spleen and lung.

In Chinese medicine, spleen governs transport and transformation, which can transport nutrients and body fluids to the internal organs of the body. If dampness invades the human body, or because of excessive thinking, fatigue and improper diet, it hurts the spleen, causing spleen deficiency to fail to transport water and dampness, causing water and dampness to accumulate in the body, forming phlegm and dampness for a long time, and phlegm and dampness will accumulate in the lungs. The lung can regulate the movement of primordial qi. When common cold or cold pathogen invades the lung, it will cause the body fluid in the lung to accumulate into phlegm.

Therefore, eliminating phlegm and dampness should not only regulate the lungs, but also regulate the spleen. In addition, if you want to fundamentally resolve phlegm, you should choose appropriate methods to adjust it according to the specific properties of phlegm, such as white phlegm, yellow phlegm, or thin foam phlegm, so as to have a better result.

For example:

1, some people cough up a lot of phlegm, while others cough up a little. However, if the sputum you cough up is mainly white, these people are often accompanied by cold hands and feet, loss of appetite, and often feel particularly uncomfortable when eating a little stomach, fatigue, deformed stool, etc. Stick out your tongue and see that the tongue is pale, the moss is thin and white, and there are teeth marks on the edge of the tongue.

This situation is more common in spleen deficiency and dampness, and Erchen Pill can be used to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and to neutralize phlegm.

2. If the color of the sputum you cough is yellow, and this sputum is usually sticky, it is not easy to cough up. When you stick out your tongue, your tongue is red and your fur is yellow and greasy. Usually, you often feel thirsty, upset and dry stool.

This situation is more common in the body with damp heat, you can use orange pills to clear away heat and resolve phlegm.

3. If the expectoration is clear and thin foam sputum, this sputum is usually white and thin with foam. At the same time, this kind of people often have cold hands and feet, are afraid of cold, and can't eat cold things. When they touch cold, they will have diarrhea and stick out their tongues, and the fur is white and greasy.

In this case, it is more common that cold and dampness are trapped in the spleen. Orange-red Huatan Granules can not only dispel cold phlegm, but also moisten the lungs and relieve cough.

The above are the common sputum of different colors. Although the situation looks similar, they all cough up phlegm, but when conditioning, it is still necessary to go through the doctor's syndrome differentiation to fundamentally solve the problem of excessive phlegm in the body.
