“All diseases are caused by phlegm”. Some modern people’s bad habits, such as poor diet, irregular life, eat more and move less, are brewing phlegm and damp body breeding ground. Conditioning phlegm dampness, the main thing is to deal with spleen spleen this “source of phlegm”, and finally to find the formation of “spleen spleen deficiency” cause, so as to prescribe the right medicine. Let’s say, if the spleen is compared to the company’s employees, then personal habits are the company’s rules and regulations. When a company has clear rules and regulations, rewards and punishments are clear, the staff will work more seriously and realistically to do the work in hand. Conversely, if a company’s system is not clear, it is bound to affect the mood of the employee, and he will not work well. By the same token, if a person has a regular diet and regular rest, the spleen will work well and digest the food regularly every day; on the contrary, if the person has irregular rest, irregular meals and unbalanced nutrition, such an irregular life will overwhelm the spleen and naturally the work efficiency will be reduced, thus leading to spleen qi deficiency. According to Chinese medicine, the spleen is the master of transportation and transformation. Its role is to digest the food that people eat, retaining the essence of it and transporting it to the body as blood, while the non-essential parts become waste and are excreted through the large intestine. If the spleen qi is weak, the food we eat will not be digested. That’s why some people have unformed stools, and that’s the root cause. The key is that a deficient spleen will not be able to absorb the essence of food, and the essence of water and grain cannot be properly transformed into useful fluids for the body, instead, “damp” and “phlegm” type of evil qi is formed. In other words, the body absorbs water and food essence, when not fully absorbed by the body, either to form feces excretion, or stagnation in the body to form water damp. Feces is human waste, water dampness is also. Just because the dampness is sticky and stagnant, it is not easy to excrete, and can only be held in, and as a result, the more it is held in, and finally through the chemical reaction condition of internal heat, the garbage is further decayed, forming a worse garbage – phlegm. This is like, cleaners put garbage on the road, at first only a little, but then more and more piles, both obstructing traffic, and garbage in the sun, water vapor and other external conditions to further decay, the formation of more smelly garbage, the result is not only the road is not smooth, the road also became smelly. Dampness in the body, just like this garbage, both obstructing the flow of Qi and blood, but also damage and pollution to the body, people get sick. Figuratively speaking, the spleen is a small truck, filled with things useful to the body. But the truck will not move without oil, and so does the spleen, which needs a driving force, and this driving force is qi. According to Chinese medicine, Qi has a propulsive effect. The Spleen, the cart, is propelled by Qi to transport nutrients from this place to that place. Conversely, if there is not enough power, the cart will not go fast enough and the nutrients on it will be past their shelf life and go bad before they are delivered to the place, which forms phlegm. This leads to two consequences, one is the need for these nutrients organs, energy is not timely replenishment, it will strike to quit, so people will be weak, lazy to move, want to sleep; the second consequence, is that what should have become nutrients in the body piled up to form phlegm and damp, on the one hand, the formation of edema and fat, on the other hand, the body out of instinct, even if they can not excrete them hard to On the other hand, the body, out of instinct, has to excrete them even if it can’t, so people will have sticky sweat and greasy faces. This is how the three characteristics of phlegm-damp body are formed. Therefore, when regulating phlegm-dampness, Chinese herbs that benefit Qi, such as Atractylodes Macrocephala, Poria, Licorice, etc., should be added to it. Only when the Qi is sufficient, the spleen’s transporting and transforming action is strong, so that phlegm-dampness will not be produced.
