Patient's question:
My grandfather has had emphysema for thirty years. He often coughs, and despite taking many medications, the symptoms of coughing and phlegm have not improved. It is said that some folk remedies can help treat this disease. Hello, do you have any folk remedies?Doctor's answer:
Got emphysema, if taking medicine doesn't work well, you can try folk remedies. Folk remedies also have good effects on emphysema. The folk remedy uses 10 grams of tangerine peel, 500 grams of rice flour, and 200 grams of sugar. Grind the tangerine peel into a fine powder, mix it evenly with sugar to form a paste. Moisten the rice flour with a little water, place it in a steamer, and steam until cooked. After it cools, press it down, cut it into square rice cakes with a filling, and eat in moderation. This formula dries dampness, cools blood, regulates qi, and strengthens the spleen. It is suitable for emphysema caused by phlegm and turbidity obstructing the lungs.
