Many people experience excess phlegm during the fall season because the energy is peaking in the lung meridian during the fall according to TCM. Did you know that excess phlegm is linked to a weak spleen meridian? This means the energy in the spleen meridian is not able to eliminate waste efficiently in the body. This in turn affects your digestion and lung function because the lung meridian is associated with the large intestine meridian and the spleen meridian is part of your digestive system. How to get rid of excess phlegm easily and boost your digestive system at the same time? Here is a unique technique from TCM.
