To distinguish between hot cough and cold cough
For 11 small cough remedies given in Weibo, Zhongshi Shi made a comment. Among them, the first to give "white sugar mixed eggs" and "spice steamed duck eggs", Zhongshi Jie said that the ingredients and methods used, he himself had not made relevant attempts, nor heard of can be used to treat cough, so it is not recommended Patient use.
The two items of ginger mentioned in Article 3 and pear juice in Article 4 can be used as cough suppressants when used with other ingredients. Because the cold effect of ginger can act on cold cough, and pear juice has moistening effect. However, walnuts, sesame seeds, and pear juice used with mushrooms, Zhong Shijie expressed a bit incomprehensible. Similarly, the radish in Article 6 and the squash vine in Article 7 have a certain effect of clearing away the lungs and phlegm, but the radish more shows the effect of appetizing and assisting digestion, and pumpkin vine is used more. To stomach meridians, the effect on the treatment of cough is not obvious.
For the method mentioned in Article 5, "eat ginger slices and stop coughing," Zhong Shijie said that because ginger is a hot ingredient, it is mainly used to dilute the cold and relieve symptoms, and it is mostly used to treat mild colds. Therefore, if it is cold cough, the use of ginger can play a role in the fight against cold, when using it should also pay attention to the amount of 2-3 tablets a day, feel the slightest stimulation can be used excessive use will cause excessive stimulation of the throat. However, if you are coughing due to heat, eating ginger will aggravate your cough.
The same can be applied to cold coughs, as well as the use of wind olein in Article 9. Zhongshi Jie said that in the time of phlegm should pay attention to the use of the site and method, the patient can be applied at the Tiantu points wind cream, and gently rub with your fingers for 10-15 minutes, should be careful not to break the skin, so as not to stimulate. Can also be used in the back of the lungs acupuncture points, after applying wind balm gently palm with hand for 10-15 minutes. Both of these points can treat cough and wheezing. The use of balm can stimulate acupuncture points.
Article 8, 10, and 11 can all be used to relieve wind-dried cough. Almond cough up and up, as a nourishing easing cough medicine, there is the role of lungs, can expectorate cough and asthma. It is good for cough caused by dryness, but it does not have much effect on throat itching caused by cold cough. Also, the almonds referred to here are not the daily edible almonds but the medicinal apricots sold in pharmacies.
