Cough Diet Therapy

Diseases such as coughing are a common symptom of lung disease. The main cause of such diseases is the external evil energy in our body. In addition, the occurrence of dietary therapy for cough will cause the endogenous generation of phlegm and turbid air as well as deficiency of both Qi and Yin, which are very harmful. It is recommended that we be aware of these links.

After a disease like cough occurs, it is actually a symptom of a common disease among the patient's lung diseases. There are many viral causes of cough, and the occurrence of such diseases is mainly caused by external evil spirits. In addition, phlegm and fluid, endogenous turbid air, or deficiency of both Qi and Yin are also likely to cause cough.

In clinical practice, Chinese medicine often distinguishes between exogenous and endogenous coughs. Exogenous coughs include wind-cold cough, wind-heat cough, etc.; endogenous coughs are divided into phlegm-heat cough, phlegm-damp cough, qi deficiency cough, yin deficiency cough, etc. Cough in children is more difficult to treat, but if combined with appropriate medicinal and dietary therapy, it can promote early recovery of the cough.

Wind-cold cough is mostly caused by the invasion of wind-cold evil, internal depression of lung qi, and failure of lung defense. The main manifestations are cough, thin white sputum, itchy throat, often accompanied by nasal congestion, clear runny nose, frequent sneezing, aversion to cold and headache, sore limbs, thin white tongue coating, and floating and tight pulse. Pear juice: 100 grams of pears (washed, cored and sliced), 5 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa (mashed), and 8 grams of Platycodon grandiflorum, put them into a pot and boil them in water for about 10 minutes. Then add 10 grams of chrysanthemum and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the residue and take the juice. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar and drink it warm.

Diet therapy for cough is quite particular. In our life, we can adopt some dietary methods that are good for people. Only in this way can we avoid the irritation caused by drugs. Otherwise, when we treat cough, blindly using drugs will cause irritation. It is recommended that we be aware of this detail.
