秋冬乾燥痰上頸?
秋冬季天氣乾燥，容易造成喉嚨乾涸、咳嗽，咳嗽時可能帶痰，不時有「痰上頸」的情況，受秋燥之邪而出現的痰量少而色白、質黏，伴隨症狀為喉嚨乾癢、鼻乾唇燥、痰涎帶血絲等。秋氣與肺氣相通，中醫理論認為「肺為嬌臟，喜潤惡燥」，肺臟天生喜歡潤澤、討厭乾燥，所以秋燥容易傷及肺臟引致咳嗽生痰。想紓緩症狀，記得多飲水保持體內有足夠水份，適量進食潤肺養陰的食材，如百合、玉竹、沙參、枸杞、石斛等；適量進食潤燥養肺的水果，如梨子、杮子、甘蔗、無花果、枇杷等；減少進食辛辣燥熱的食物；有需要可適量飲用有滋陰潤燥功效的茶療。

Feel like phlegm is always stuck in your throat?
The weather of autumn and winter is dry, and can cause dryness in the throat and cough, which may contain phlegm. At the same time, we can also constantly feel the presence of phlegm in the throat.
The phlegm, caused by the autumn dryness pathogens, often comes in small quantity. It is white in color and sticky in nature. Other accompanying symptoms include dry and itchy throat, dry nose and lips, and blood-streaked phlegm. The autumn’s qi and the qi of the lungs are interrelated, as Chinese Medicine theories note that “lungs are a delicate moist-loving organ”. Autumn dryness, hence, might hurt the lungs and cause individuals to cough and produce phlegm.
In order to relieve the condition, drink more water to keep the body hydrated. Consume ingredients that can moisten the lungs and nourish the yin, for instance, Lily bulbs, Polygonatum odoratum (‘yu zhu’), glehnia root, wolfberry and fox nut; also, eat fruits that can relieve dryness and nourish the lungs, such as pear, persimmon, sugarcane, fig, and loquat (‘pi pa’); cut down on hot and spicy food. If needed, drink herbal tea that can nourish the yin.
