Whether adults or children, are prone to coughing this more difficult to treat common diseases, folk are also popular on the cough of the diet, such as pear stew, salt steamed oranges, baked tangerines and so on. But from the Chinese medicine point of view, even if the therapeutic formula should be effective, otherwise it may be counterproductive. 1, why is the cough always cure is not good A woman asked me, how is the cough always bad? It’s been three years, every winter cough, how to treat can not be cured, this is why?” Other coworkers have echoed: “Yes, her cough is really a problem, always bad!” When I heard that it hadn’t gotten better in three years, and that it was always a winter cough, I immediately felt: this is such a familiar situation! So I asked her a question, “Did you use a Szechuan shellfish type of medicine when you had your first cough three years ago?” This lady was shocked, said: “Yes, I used at that time, Chuanbei stewed pear ah, the first two days a little effect, and then no effect, but until now, I am still insisting, coughing with it!” I said to everyone: “This is the problem ah, just coughing, it should be the external cold evil, and Chuanbei, is a cold drug, with the role of clearing heat, at this time, the cold on the cold, will be the evil ice ambush, resulting in the future, every year at this time, will have an attack, this is an experience to see a similar friend, to understand, recurrent episodes of coughing, it is so to come. ” What is meant by adding cold to cold? When a person, just feel the cold evil, the flow is clear nose, sneezing, choking cough, head and neck pain at the back of the head, cold body, these are the performance of cold. At this time, with any products of Chuanbei, will lead to cold on cold, make the cough for a long time. So, what kind of drug is Chuanbei? Chuanbei, slightly cold in nature, there are also said to be cool. Taste sweet and flat, have the effect of moistening the lungs, relieving cough, resolving phlegm and asthma, clearing heat and resolving phlegm, used for heat cough, such as wind-heat cough, dry-heat cough, lung fire cough. The misuse of Chuanbei, which leads to cold and stagnation, is significantly more common than other medicines, and this should be taken seriously by TCM practitioners. I have seen a lot of such children, to the late fall, began to cough, lingering winter, and then the beginning of spring on the good, every time I met such a child, I would ask what medicines have been used, and as a result, the answer is that all of them have been used in the Chuanbei class of drugs. For example, in the early stage of cold, used Chuanbei stewed pear, or Chinese patent medicine Chuanbei loquat cough syrup, etc. Now you go to the drugstore, just say that you have a cough. Now you go to the drugstore, as long as you say cough medicine, the clerk more regardless of heat and cold, recommended this Chuanbei loquat cough syrup, resulting in a lot of people suffer, I think this situation should be changed. I am not saying that this drug is not good, loquat loquat cough syrup is also a good drug, has the effect of clearing heat and resolving phlegm. But this is a cool medicine to clear the heat, the loquat leaves in it are also cool, put in the early stage of external cold, it is used in the wrong stage. We need to know a truth, that is, the drug itself is not good or bad, use the right, is a good drug, use the wrong, will harm people. For example, if you use the right rhubarb, you can save your life, but if you use the wrong ginseng, you can kill people, this is a famous saying in Chinese medicine. This Chuanbei thing, I told many times, but, still see too many people thus victimized, we must remember, is in the dry heat, only with Chuanbei, such as red tongue, pulse, sputum yellow, yellow nose, sore throat, this is the hot evidence, in the hot evidence, there is with dry symptoms, more suitable for the use of Chuanbei, and when the cold evidence, this Chuanbei will delay the condition of the disease. Later, at the dinner table, this staff asked me, “What should I do then?” My answer was very simple, it is the method that I often introduce to you, use six grams of Chen Pi and one gram of Su Ye, make water and drink it instead of tea. The medicinal properties of Chen Pi and Su Ye are warm, which can warm the lungs and dissipate cold, and usually when you drink it for a period of time, your body will naturally expel the cold evil. At this time, if you can ask the doctor, prescribed a warm Yang Xuan lung formula, it will be more effective. 2, cough is also divided into stages, its therapeutic formula should also be dialectical Treatment of cough therapeutic formula should also be dialectical, cough is also divided into different stages. We should know an important concept: Chinese medicine is any disease, to distinguish between different situations, such as cold, heat and so on, so, in Chinese medicine, will not appear like Western medicine, a disease, with a drug situation. This point of view we must grasp the oh, otherwise, there will be a lot of wrong dissemination method in the circle of friends now: “treatment of cough secret recipe!” Then it is, each prescription, did not write any indications, do not talk about when to use, as a result, people will bring it to use, not symptomatic, useless. Then a lot of people shout, “Chinese medicine doesn’t work!” . Anyone who spreads Chinese medicine this way is planting evidence for Chinese medicine! Well, let’s talk about the child’s external cough. In fact, the child’s cough is very simple, most of the external sensation, that is to say, feel the external evil. And in most places in China, most of the time, feel the external evil, mainly cold. Frequently read my book friends, will understand, I cold caused by cold, divided into several stages, and cough, just a symptom caused by external infection, so also divided into such a few stages. These stages, we must remember oh! They are: 1, external cold stage; 2, external cold and internal heat stage; 3, internal heat stage; 4, back to the external cold stage; 5, Zhengqi deficiency stage. And I talk about regulating cough formula, also correspond to this, they are (everyone, this is very important, any mother, master this treasure map, you can follow the map!)
