Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

• transforms phlegm in all its forms
• clears heat, eliminates toxins
• loosens indurations and softens nodules
• supports the movement of Qi
• breaks blood stasis

Description:

Phlegm is one of the most "treatment-resistant" pathological manifestations. And it is not just about the so-called "manifested" phlegm, such as the one we cough up or blow out of our nose. Perhaps even more dangerous is the "unmanifested" one, which has the ability to enter the meridians and vessels. It most often arises from the presence of heat, which "thickens" our body fluids and manifests most frequently as palpable nodules under the skin, often in places where the meridians are constricted along their course, for example on the neck (palpable lymph nodes or formations on the thyroid gland), armpits, or in the groin. It is a certain type of blockage – constraint, and these can "transform" into each other in various ways depending on the circumstances. When phlegm/phlegm-dampness accumulates somewhere in the body, there is also a greater tendency towards Qi stagnation, blood stasis, the formation of dampness, and from that, further heat – thereby closing a vicious circle that is very difficult to break.

The Nei Xiao Luo Li Pian formula can do exactly this: it softens nodules and loosens indurations, clears heat, and moves Qi and blood. It thus also improves lymph flow throughout the lymphatic system. According to clinical studies, Self-heal, Liquorice, and Mint also support the immune system and natural defences.

Indications:

• disperses phlegm that causes "lumps" under the skin (enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid nodules, fatty lumps under the skin)
• moves the lymphatic system
• cough with phlegm that is difficult to expectorate
• shortness of breath
• dyspnoea
• rapid breathing
• fullness in the chest associated with phlegm
• coating in the throat
• voice changes
• fullness and pain in the chest, hypochondrium, and epigastrium
• nausea
• vomiting

• lymphadenopathy – swollen, enlarged, and/or painful lymph nodes
• thyroid nodules

Tongue:

• red to scarlet
• swollen or with a thick white-yellow to yellow coating

Pulse:

• hua
• sometimes shu

Contraindications:

• absence of signs of phlegm and heat
• otherwise none known

Clinical notes:

During treatment, it is advisable to adjust the diet: eat regularly and avoid heavy and phlegm-producing foods.

This problem is often related to Liver Qi stagnation, which is why we combine it with the Xiao Yao San or Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang Jia Jian formulas.

A large, well-balanced classic formula that perfectly covers the mentioned pathologies.
