Chinese medicine has a method!

Although it is pharyngitis, but for different people, there may be different performance, which involves the process of “identification” in Chinese medicine.

Deficiency

Lung Yin Deficiency

Most of them are found in teachers, hosts, announcers and other professions, and their onset is mostly related to excessive use of the voice.

For this type of problem, you can use lily, silver fungus, maitake, roasted loosestrife leaves, soak together every day to boil water to drink, can nourish the Yin and moisten the throat, will have a better relief effect.

Lung and kidney yin deficiency

It is common for older patients, or people who stay up late and sleep late to hurt their yin.

This kind of pharyngitis produces itchy throat symptoms not only limited to the throat, but also from the throat gradually up to the nasopharynx, the upper gums to the nasal cavity.

These people rely only on throat is not enough, but also pay attention to nourishing kidney yin, the effect can be obvious.

Practical evidence
