Today, I recommend a "lung-clearing king" to everyone. Its effect of clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm is much stronger than that of Platycodon grandiflorus. At critical moments, it can help the lungs "reduce the burden." It is—Qianjin Weijing Decoction。
Although it only contains four herbs, its efficacy is remarkably potent. Whether you are suffering from cough with copious phlegm, yellow or purulent sputum, sticky and difficult-to-expectorate phlegm due to heat toxin accumulation in the lungs, or accompanied by dull chest pain, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, this formula can address these common issues and help clear "waste" from the lungs.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the core reason why the lungs accumulate "waste" and cause discomfort isInvasion of external pathogens leads to dysfunction of the lung's dispersing and descending functions。When lung qi is obstructed, the metabolism of body fluids becomes disordered, making it easy for dampness to accumulate and phlegm to formPhlegm dampness, as a tangible pathogenic factor, obstructing the lungs further impedes the movement of qi, and prolonged stagnation of qi can generate heat. This heat then consumes body fluids, leading to a situation where phlegm and heat are intertwined, naturally giving rise to various lung issues.
而Qianjin Weijing Decoction is composed of four herbs: reed root, coix seed, peach kernel, and winter melon seedTranslate the following text to en, maintaining the original format but without adding any symbols: . Among themReed Rhizomeis the core, capable of clearing lung heat, promoting lung orifice function, generating body fluids, directly targeting the root cause of lung heat, and quickly alleviating the discomfort caused by intense lung heat;Coix SeedIt can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, blocking the generation of phlegm-dampness from the source, and preventing the re-accumulation of phlegm-dampness in the lungsPeach KernelSkilled in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it can clear stagnation in the lung collaterals and ensure smooth lung qi flowWax GourdThe seeds can clear the lungs and dissolve phlegm, promote diuresis and expel pus, aiding in the discharge of purulent phlegm from the lungs. They also help guide turbid phlegm to be expelled through bowel movements, assisting the lungs in a thorough "deep clean."

However, it must be reminded that the use of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment the most. Each person's constitution is different, and the complexity of syndrome types varies. It is absolutely not advisable to use it on your own. It must be used under the guidance of a professional physician with syndrome differentiation to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
