feng tan  (wind phlegm) 風痰      (in English and Chinese 中英文)
 

by: Joe Hing kwok Chu

 Feng tan (wind phlegm) syndrome: It is usually caused by chill and virus invading respiratory organ. Usually the change of temperature (chill) causes the production of white cells to slow down and when the body harbors virus, it causes infections like cold or influenza. At the onset, the phlegm is thin and white. After the immune system is mobilized, the casualty of the white cells causes the phlegm to change into yellow color and so as the color of the fur of the tongue. Usually the patients dislike cold wind.
