Chinese medicine practitioners believe that phlegm is salty and voluminous mainly because of the deficiency of kidney yang (insufficient yang energy in the kidneys) resulting in cold water flooding, and generally use Chinese herbal remedies to regulate the organism. In the basic theory of Chinese medicine, the kidney is the master of water (the kidney can preside over and regulate the water metabolism of the human body), and among the five flavors, salty is the master of the kidney, so the phenomenon of salty phlegm will not occur when there is no disease. If the phlegm is salty and the amount is relatively large, often feel salty phlegm in the mouth is mainly due to the kidney deficiency can not control the water caused by the cold water flooding in the mouth, mostly for the lack of kidney yang (lack of yang energy in the kidneys) caused. The treatment generally follows the principles of warming and tonifying kidney yang (warming and replenishing kidney yang qi), transforming qi and inducing diuresis (transporting and transforming qi in order to induce diuresis), and can choose formulas such as Zhenwu Tang, Jingui Kidney qi Pill, Ling Gui Jiu Gan Tang to regulate the body, and can also be combined with external treatments such as acupuncture and medicinal baths. Chinese medicine treatment of salty phlegm and a large amount of general use of traditional Chinese medicine, the specific treatment methods and drug selection needs to be adjusted according to the different conditions. If symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital and take medication as prescribed by the doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
