Elderly people wake up early in the morning with a feeling of phlegm in their chests, and this, coupled with the fact that respiratory diseases tend to flare up in autumn and winter, makes many elderly people have a lot of phlegm. If not taken care of immediately, it can even be so severe that it can lead to sputum or trachea.
In fact, the mechanism of life has a certain route to follow, so why a person will have more phlegm when he is old, Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, in Chinese medicine is very concerned about “qi”, liquid circulation is liquefied in the vaporization, the difference between body fluids and body qi is that a person’s fluids are circulating in the form of qi, the circulation of qi will make a person’s body qi into a state of physical strength, unlike young people’s hormones, when people get old The brain gradually degenerates, body fluids slowly coagulate and solidify, plus less exercise, the body’s gasification is poor, then there is mucous phlegm in the throat, often coughing up phlegm, or chronic cough, chronic bronchial dilatation will appear, these are all because the circulation of body fluids is not operating in the gaseous state, if not in the gaseous state in the circulation, the lungs will not have enough gas, and the electrolytic capacity of the brain will be poor. The brain’s electrolytic capacity will not be good.
After the age of 50, 60 years old, especially in the past, people with asthma, and people who often take tracheal drugs, trachea and bronchial aging rate will be much faster than normal people, so in the past often asthma or bad trachea, chronic cough friends, the body is aging, phlegm seems to become a portable object that can not be detached, often choked, can not be spit out or breathing difficulties. Further lung capacity is getting smaller and smaller, resulting in wheezing easily when walking, difficult to exercise, so that the Qi in the body slowly become liquefied, once you want to exercise no power, into a bad cycle, so that when the liquefaction in a person’s body is serious, it will lead to phlegm in the elderly, poor bronchial conditions.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that this disease looks simple, but it is not easy to adjust the treatment, from the point of view of Western medicine, the last is to carry out sputum extraction, pneumothorax and other procedures, which is the lung function has declined. From the Chinese medicine point of view, the lung is the main function of dispersing qi, without the operation of gas, it is impossible to perform, just like an electrical appliance, how to perform without electricity, qi is the energy of the lung, without this energy there is no function, it will slowly accumulate fluid, when the lung starts to accumulate fluid, it will be a very sad situation, resulting in a fragile life. Therefore, do not wait until the sputum is pumped to start treatment, should find a lot of sputum, and long-term treatment is still unable to improve the time, we should be alert to the elderly phlegm symptoms have entered the danger, the best to find a real understanding of gasification of Chinese medicine practitioners to treat the lack of such a theoretical basis is very difficult to cure the root of the cure, the elderly phlegm is difficult to treat, not incurable for Chinese medicine.
