In Traditional Chinese Medicine, phlegm is more than respiratory mucus. Internal phlegm may develop when digestion and fluid metabolism become impaired, eventually affecting the Heart and Mind. Excessive phlegm is traditionally believed to cloud mental clarity, interfere with emotional balance, and contribute to confusion, unusual perceptions, and cognitive disturbances.

Healthy digestion is traditionally viewed as an important foundation for clear thinking, emotional balance, and healthy cognitive function.

Why are the Heart and Spleen important in Traditional Chinese Medicine?

The Heart is traditionally regarded as the residence of the Mind (Shen), while the Spleen produces Qi and helps regulate fluid metabolism. When these systems function harmoniously, they help support emotional stability, mental clarity, healthy memory, and overall wellness.

Can excessive phlegm affect cognitive function?

What symptoms are commonly associated with Phlegm Misting the Mind?

Each individual may experience a different combination of symptoms.
