Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hemp seeds show significant efficacy in treating chronic pharyngitis. Chronic pharyngitis is characterized by discomfort, mild pain, a foreign body sensation in the throat, and frequent clearing actions. Lung and kidney yin deficiency is its primary pathogenesis. Hemp seeds are sweet and neutral in nature, entering the spleen, stomach, and large intestine channels, and possess the functions of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movement. The lung and large intestine are mutually corresponding organs. By using hemp seeds to clear the bowels and moisten the lungs, one can eliminate the deficiency fire in the lungs. Therefore, hemp seeds provide a relatively satisfying therapeutic effect for deficiency fire-induced throat obstruction.
