It is the main formula for resolving Phlegm, which may affect various bodily systems.\u003cbr\u003ePhlegm is an internally generated pathogen that arises due to a disruption in the metabolism of fluids, and involves impaired function of the Lung, Spleen and\/or Kidney. The essential clinical signs of a Phlegm disorder are:\u003cbr\u003e• Tongue has a slippery or greasy coat\u003cbr\u003e• Pulse is slippery\u003cbr\u003eThere are two broad categories of Phlegm disorders: those due to external ('visible' or 'substantial') Phlegm and those due to internal ('invisible' or 'insubstantial') Phlegm. External Phlegm is always associated with sputum in the respiratory tract, or other signs of excessive mucus production, e.g. vomiting of mucus or watery fluid. Internal Phlegm, on the other hand, may occur in a variety of forms and in various locations:\u003cbr\u003e• Under the skin giving rise to lumps and swellings (e.g. goitre, lipoma, lymph node swelling, rheumatoid nodules).\u003cbr\u003e• In the Channels causing numbness or paralysis, as is seen in Wind-stroke (i.e. apoplexy).\u003cbr\u003e• Obstructing the mind and senses causing mental disorders (such as severe depression, psychosis, mental retardation) or epilepsy.\u003cbr\u003e• In the Gall Bladder or Kidney where, under the influence of Heat, the Phlegm congeals over time to form stones.\u003cbr\u003eIn the joints causing stiffness, deformity and bone growths (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis).\u003cbr\u003eThus, CLEAR THE PHLEGM (wen dan tang) may be used as the basis for treating a very broad selection of clinical problems. The scope of clinical actions for this formula includes the following:\u003cbr\u003ePsychological problems\u003cbr\u003eRespiratory system disorders\u003cbr\u003eStomach disorders\u003cbr\u003eParaslysis or numbness\u003cbr\u003eNodules and tumors\u003cbr\u003eDisorders due to various kinds of blockage (e.g. arterial narrowing, nasal or bronchial obstruction) \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used in Chinese medicine to drain heat in the gall bladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used in Chinese medicine to regulate Qi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used in Chinese medicine to harmonise the stomach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used in Chinese medicine to resolve Phlegm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHINAMED BY SUN HERBAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53802579165556,"sku":null,"price":35.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/7525\/7204\/files\/ChinaMed_20Clear_20the_20Phlegm_20Formula_2078c_media-01.jpg?v=1773523031","url":"https:\/\/healthnook.com.au\/products\/chinamed-clear-the-phlegm-formula-78c","provider":"Healthnook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
