Brief Introduction of Phlegm Drink in Ancient Books

Phlegm retention is the name of this disease. Refers to a disease in which water and liquid in the body are abnormally transported and accumulated in some parts. Phlegm, which is light in ancient times, is light and smooth, describing the light flow of water; Drinking, water is also, so some people call it "light drinking" and "flowing drinking". Published "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber: Syndrome and Treatment of Phlegm and Cough".

As early as Neijing, there was a saying of "accumulated drinking". For example, "Liu Ji Da Lun in Huangdi's Internal Classic" said: "When the Moon comes, it is not separated by accumulated drinking." Huangdi Neijing said: "Dampness is abundant ... people drink when they are sick ..." It laid the theoretical foundation for drinking phlegm. "synopsis of the golden chamber" pioneered the name of phlegm-drinking disease, which was discussed in a special article. Its meaning can be divided into broad and narrow sense. In a broad sense, drinking phlegm is the general name of all kinds of drinks, while in a narrow sense, drinking phlegm is a type of all kinds of drinks, which can be divided into four categories: drinking phlegm, hanging drinking, overflowing drinking and drinking. Those who stay for a long time stay to drink, and those who lie down to drink are still within the scope of four drinks. The treatment of pulse syndrome was elaborated in detail, which became the main basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment in later generations. From Sui and Tang Dynasties to Jin and Yuan Dynasties, on the basis of phlegm-drinking diseases, the pathological theory of phlegm was gradually developed, and the argument that all diseases should be treated with phlegm was advocated, thus there was a distinction between phlegm syndrome and drinking syndrome.

The main causes of phlegm drinking are deficiency of middle yang, exogenous cold and dampness, fatigue in diet, poor gasification of triple energizer, neglect of regulating body fluid in lung, spleen and kidney, yang deficiency and yin excess, and water drinking.

According to the position of stopping drinking, phlegm drinking should be divided into four categories: phlegm drinking, hanging drinking, overflowing drinking and helping drinking. At the same time, we should master the characteristics of physical deficiency and pathogenic excess, and distinguish between real and virtual from symptoms.

The treatment of phlegm should be based on the principle of warming and tonifying. Phlegm drink has always been a syndrome of yang deficiency and yin excess, and its essence is deficiency and excess. Therefore, strengthening the spleen and warming the kidney is the right treatment, sweating and diuresis to eliminate evil, and it is an expedient measure to treat the symptoms. Water and drink gradually disappear, and it is still necessary to warm and tonify the spleen and kidney, strengthen the body resistance and consolidate the foundation, and take water and drink alone as the source.
