Dr. Feng Tao
Hello! Foods that help clear the lungs and resolve phlegm include:
1. Loquat—neutral in nature and sweet-sour in flavor; according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), loquat helps suppress coughing, relieve wheezing, clear the lungs, and resolve phlegm;
2. Tremella fungus—neutral in nature and sweet in flavor; like other white-colored foods, tremella is especially moistening and nourishing;
3. Pear—high in water content and cold in nature; pears promote fluid production, moisten dryness, clear heat, and resolve phlegm;
4. Dried tangerine peel (Chen Pi)—helps suppress coughing and resolve phlegm.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health and a joyful life!
