Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Pharyngolaryngitis
Chronic pharyngolaryngitis is a chronic inflammation of pharyngeal mucosa, submucosa and lymphoid tissue, which can be divided into three types according to its pathological changes: simple, proliferative and atrophic. There are many reasons for chronic pharyngitis, such as recurrent acute pharyngitis and diseases of adjacent organs (chronic tonsillitis, gingivitis, chronic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis). People who suffer from external factors such as cold and dry climate, air pollution in the working environment by dust and chemical gases, long-term stimulation by tobacco, alcohol and spicy diet, and excessive use of voice due to occupational factors are prone to chronic pharyngitis.
In addition, long-term irregular life, fatigue and mental stress will reduce the body's resistance, and bacteria and viruses are prone to repeated infections, which will also cause chronic pharyngitis. At present, there are many methods to treat chronic pharyngitis. For example, western medicine generally advocates the use of mouthwashes such as Koutai and compound borax solution, including taking Huasu tablets, Anji buccal tablets and G- bacteria buccal tablets. Long-term use of these drugs will lead to oral environment disorder. For hypertrophic pharyngitis, methods such as laser, microwave and freezing can be used. However, at present, these therapies tend to be abused, and outpatients often see patients who come to see a doctor because of severe hyperplasia and contracture of postoperative pharyngeal scar. Chronic pharyngolaryngitis is equivalent to "deficiency of fire blocking the throat" in traditional Chinese medicine, and its etiology and pathogenesis are lung and kidney yin deficiency and fire flourishing, and throat dystrophy. Treatment should be nourishing lung and kidney, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, moistening throat and relieving sore throat. Experience has proved that the correct application of herbal tea is helpful to treat chronic pharyngitis.
Tea-making with Chinese herbs for the treatment of pharyngolaryngitis takes Chinese herbs as a single prescription or a compound with other Chinese herbs, and is often taken as tea to prevent and improve pharyngolaryngitis, which is called tea-making therapy with Chinese herbs. This method is a wonderful work in the treasure house of Chinese medicine and tea culture in China. Tea first appeared as a Chinese herbal medicine in China, and China has a long history in the research and application of tea's health care and medical functions.
