Cough, phlegm, asthma and inflammation are common features of lower respiratory tract infection. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the production of phlegm is mainly related to the lung and spleen. When wind or cold pathogen invades the lungs, the body fluid in the lungs will condense into phlegm. If dampness invades the human body, or if you think too much, are tired, or eat improperly, it will also damage the spleen, making it lose its transport function, leading to stagnant water and phlegm. There are many seemingly ordinary fruits and vegetables in our life, which can moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen and eliminate phlegm. Below, I recommend several small remedies for relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
