In Chinese medicine, it is said that "the spleen is the source of phlegm". Phlegm diseases are related to the deficiency of the spleen that causes dampness and heat to produce phlegm. The main reason for phlegm is that the spleen is not healthy. Because the spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, people with spleen deficiency can take Xiang Sha Yang Gu Wan or Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Wan to strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. When the Qi is full, there is no place for phlegm and dampness to be produced. As the ancients said, "People who are old and have insufficient positive qi are prone to phlegm and drinks, and the root cause is the deficiency of spleen and kidney yang." The application of Eight Flavors Kidney Qi Pill can nourish fire and generate earth, open the gastrointestinal gate, guide the downward flow of spring water and eliminate phlegm and drinks. Its therapeutic effect of tonifying the kidney and dispelling phlegm is remarkable.Tips
