Is it useful to take Isatis root for cough?

I believe that in the eyes of many people, Isatis root is a medicine with very comprehensive medicinal functions, so no matter what kind of disease the body has, many people believe that drinking Isatis root has good effects. Coughing is a common physical symptom in the human body, and the main cause of coughing is related to colds. At this time, people will consider whether drinking Isatis root granules will be effective when a cough occurs?

1. Isatis root cannot cure cough. Coughs include inflammatory and bacterial infectious ones. For example, coughs caused by inflammation such as bronchitis and pneumonia require the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Isatis root is mainly antiviral. If the cough is caused by foreign bodies in the trachea or allergies, it needs to be treated with antihistamines. Isatis root granules have a good effect on the treatment of wind-heat colds.

2. Isatis root is not suitable for colds caused by wind and cold. Colds caused by wind and cold will make people afraid of cold, resulting in poor appetite and frequent runny nose. Using isatis root for treatment for a short time will damage the spleen and stomach, and for a long time will damage the yang energy. Because isatis root is a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, it has antiviral effects and is suitable for wind-heat and heat toxicity, that is, wind-heat type colds, which lead to symptoms of sore throat or constipation.

3. If you have symptoms of coughing, try to avoid using cough suppressants. Although this substance can calm and suppress cough, it can also become a habit. You should pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and fried foods to avoid increasing phlegm. You can regulate your body through diet therapy, such as honeysuckle and rock sugar water, radish tea, apricot and pear tea, etc.

To sum up, drinking Isatis root when you have a cough is useless, and the main function of Isatis root is to treat wind-heat colds. When you have symptoms of coughing, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible, understand your own condition, and choose the appropriate treatment method according to the symptoms. Do not use Isatis root blindly. If it does not work, it will also affect the recovery time of the disease. At the same time, pay attention to daily diet care.
