By pressing this acupoint, lipomas, scabs, and flat warts can be removed
Phlegm is originally the product of human diseases, and its production and increase will cause more diseases, so expectorant has been a headache for doctors and patients since ancient times, and it is necessary to carefully dig out the root of the disease.
1. Methods of expectorant in traditional Chinese medicine
1. Apply medicine to acupuncture points to remove phlegm
The expectorant method I often use in clinical practice is to press or tap the right Fenglong acupoint with a small health care hammer, and then mash the licorice and apply it externally to this acupoint.
【Medicine】Licorice
【Acupuncture point】Fenglong acupoint
【Method】 First rub with your hands or tap the right Fenglong acupoint with a small health care hammer for 5 minutes, then hammer and hammer the licorice bought from the pharmacy, apply it externally to this acupoint, and fix it with medical gauze and medical adhesive tape. Paste it for 12 hours at a time, take it off and rest for 12 hours before applying.
Fenglong acupoint: It is the meridian point of the stomach meridian of Zuyangming, located on the anterior and lateral side of the calf, and it is the great treasure point of various schools of doctors to remove phlegm since ancient times.
Licorice: Growing in sandy soil, sweet in taste, yellow in color, explained from the perspective of the Book of Changes, it happens to be the best choice for tonifying the spleen and invigorating qi, expelling phlegm and relieving cough.
Phlegm is the product of the failure of human water metabolism, and its production is mainly closely related to the lungs, spleen and kidneys, and it is most closely related to the spleen. The Fenglong acupoint is the meridian point of the stomach meridian of Zuyangming, don't go to the Zutai Yin and Spleen meridians, it can treat diseases on the two meridians of the spleen and stomach at the same time, so massaging this acupoint can strengthen the spleen and stomach, so that the damp phlegm can be self-dissolved.
The ancients said, "If there is more phlegm, it is better to seek Fenglong", "Fenglong, lung Yu, phlegm cough is amazing". Yes, Hong Leong has always been regarded as a treasure for expectorant by doctors, how can we not do it because of the small acupoints, so all diseases related to phlegm should be treated through the Hong Leong acupoints.
2. Diet to eliminate phlegm
Friends who eat more sesame seeds and less meat and phlegm must pay attention to their diet. As the old saying goes, "Fish makes fire, and meat makes phlegm." If you eat too much meat, especially pork, it is easy to produce phlegm, so friends with a lot of phlegm should reduce their meat consumption and eat more light food.
In the daily diet, the effect of sesame seeds to eliminate phlegm is better. You can stir-fry sesame seeds, grind them into powder, and eat them every day. Of course, it would be even better if you could buy pure sesame oil. If you use sesame oil as a cooking oil in your daily diet, it won't take long for your phlegm to disappear.
3. Phlegm, dampness, stasis, insomnia
A few years ago, I treated a case of stubborn insomnia, at that time, I carefully examined the patient's symptoms and found that the main cause of her was phlegm and dampness in the body. So, I used the external treatment method of licorice compress right Fenglong acupoint, and asked her to follow this method when she returned home.
In traditional Chinese medicine, phlegm is divided into three categories: phlegm for qi depression, phlegm for spleen deficiency, and blood phlegm.
★ Angry phlegm - lipoma
The phlegm of qi depression is a lipoma as commonly understood, which is mainly caused by breath-holding and chest tightness.
★ Phlegm of spleen deficiency – phlegm of cough
Sometimes the phlegm we cough up does not come from the lungs, but the spleen is deficient and produces phlegm, so we should strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness.
★ Bloody sputum—hyperlipidemia
Blood sputum is formed by hyperlipidemia, which is produced due to the accumulation of blood lipids. These three types of phlegm can be transferred to each other, and the cause can be determined in advance, so as not to be overwhelmed.
★ The Fenglong acupoint of the stomach meridian of Zuyang Ming.
Fenglong acupoint is the most effective for modern people, it can remove high blood lipids, so people with heavy phlegm and dampness in the body must rub this acupoint.
Someone has a hoarse voice, and he says that he seems to have something pasted in it, and he can't spit it out, which may be a phlegm knot, and the knot is in the throat, so he clicks on the Fenglong acupoint for a minute, and immediately he feels that this piece is open, and there is nothing left of this thing, and he doesn't know where the phlegm has gone. Therefore, it can turn both visible and invisible phlegm, and it feels that there is something here but can't spit it out, and it can't swallow it, just like plum core gas, it can also be dispersed.
If some people think that there is phlegm that cannot be spit out, it is easy to spit out the phlegm after rubbing the Fenglong acupoint, which is a very important phlegm acupoint.
Acupuncture point location: Find the two points of the knee eye and the lateral malleolus from the outside of the leg, connect them into a line, and then take the midpoint of this line, and then find the tibia on the leg, the outer side of the front edge of the tibia is 1.5 inches, about the width of your two fingers, and the midpoint just now, press it nearby, the most sore, numb, heavy or obvious pain is the Fenglong acupoint, press for about 3 minutes every day.
★ Hand sun small intestine meridian branch acupoint.
Five inches on the wrist horizontal stripe, here (is) the right acupoint. This position is on the side - the small intestine meridians are on the side - this acupuncture point is called Zhizheng, the "branch" is the branch of the side branch, and the "Zheng" is the orthodox Zheng, who is the right among the five organs? They all regard the heart as the official of the monarch, and it as the positive. The main branch is the acupuncture point that leads to the heart through the small intestine, so it is called the branch center. On the other hand, the heart and the small intestine are in the same place, (they can communicate with each other), so this small intestine meridian is a point between the heart and the heart. Luo point is the meaning of contact, it is a Luo point.
Zhizheng acupoint has a special effect, it can treat growths in the human body. What is the reason for the growth of a scab and flat warts? Why do these growths occur?
In traditional Chinese medicine, these vegetations are called phlegm knots, that is, dampness and qi are clumped together to form these things, which are called phlegm dampness. On the other hand, there is qi depression, which is to generate some qi, and the phlegm and dampness in the body condense into these growths. And lipomas are also these things, which are all phlegm knots in the human body.
By massaging the Zhizheng acupoints, these growths can be dissolved. Why is this happening? Because the Zhizheng acupoint can absorb some blood and energy from the heart, and then impact the small intestine meridian, the body's digestive function is not good, phlegm and dampness will not be digested, if the function of the small intestine is enhanced, phlegm and dampness can be dissolved in time, these vegetations will not be produced, so massage the Zhizheng acupoint it can dissolve the phlegm and dampness of the body.
