Collection: Phlegm-Heat

According to traditional Chinese medicine, phlegm-heat is a condition in which phlegm, or mucus, accumulates in the body and becomes infected with heat. This can lead to symptoms such as chest congestion, a thick, yellow mucus discharge, a cough with yellow or green sputum, and difficulty breathing.

Phlegm-heat is often caused by an imbalance in the body's qi, or energy flow. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. It can also be caused by external factors such as exposure to cold or damp weather, or living in a polluted environment.

In traditional Chinese medicine, phlegm-heat is treated with a combination of herbal remedies and lifestyle changes. Herbal remedies may include ingredients such as licorice root, which helps to clear phlegm and reduce inflammation, and ginger, which helps to warm the body and boost circulation.

Lifestyle changes may include improving diet by eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding greasy, fried, and processed foods, as well as getting regular exercise and managing stress through practices like meditation or yoga.

It is important to address phlegm-heat as soon as possible, as it can lead to more serious respiratory conditions if left untreated. By addressing the root cause of the imbalance and making necessary lifestyle changes, phlegm-heat can be effectively treated and prevented in the future.
