Throat Irritation,
Postnasal Drip Syndrome
A Major Cause of Chronic Rhinitis and Persistent Cough
Postnasal drip refers to nasal mucus draining down the back of the throat
Postnasal drip syndrome refers to the condition where excess mucus flows down the throat, often linked to rhinitis, sinusitis, or nasopharyngitis.
Symptoms include throat irritation, nasal congestion, cough, and constant mucus sensation. It can be triggered by colds, hormonal changes, cold weather, smoking, or stress.
Thickened mucus due to allergies, nasal inflammation, or low humidity also contributes.
GERD and chronic rhinitis are additional causes. Postnasal drip accounts for about 40% of chronic cough cases
and can sometimes cause swelling in the tonsils and surrounding tissues.
Symptoms from Mucus Draining Down the Throat
Common symptoms include nasal congestion, a sensation of mucus dripping down the throat, or a foreign body feeling.
As the nasal discharge drips, it can trigger coughing, often worsening when lying down, making symptoms more severe during sleep or early morning.
When accompanied by sinusitis, runny nose is also present.
Since the mucus is protein-rich, it becomes a food source for anaerobic bacteria in the mouth, which can lead to bad breath.

Root-CauseCare
Comprehensive care is needed beyond just the nose
As with all illnesses, treating only the symptoms is not enough. For example, simply clearing away mucus does not resolve
postnasal drip. The key is to strengthen the weakened tonsils, which are the root cause of the condition.
Pyunkang Korean Medicine Hospital’s Root-Cause Care
Strengthening lung function with Pyunkang-tang to support the tonsils
By strengthening the tonsils, healthy lymphocytes are produced, which actively perform phagocytosis to clear mucus and boost immunity.
This approach not only addresses postnasal drip syndrome but also helps fundamentally prevent and treat various respiratory diseases.

Pyunkang Hospital’s Lung-Cleansing Therapy
The lungs govern the nose (肺主鼻)
The nose is the first gateway to the lungs and functions as a supportive organ for breathing. When the lungs fail to
properly release accumulated heat and toxins, conditions such as postnasal drip develop. By strengthening lung
function with Pyunkang-tang, immunity is enhanced to fundamentally prevent and treat postnasal drip and
other respiratory conditions.

Pyunkang-tang(hwan) extract
may alleviate respiratory diseases
and pulmonary fibrosis effectively.
A research paper on Pyunkang-tang(hwan) was published in the October 2016
issue of the SCI-level international journal JTCM, receiving scientific recognition.
The study showed that hardened lung tissue improved after taking
Pyunkang-tang(hwan) extract, and that rats exposed to sulfur dioxide,
which caused increased sputum production, showed reduced sputum
secretion after administration of the extract.

Effects of Pyunkang-tang (PGT) on Pulmonary Fibrosis
After administering bleomycin (BLM), a substance that causes lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis,
each group was treated differently with Pyunkang-tang (PGT) and dexamethasone (a steroid drug).
The study showed that in the group with histopathological changes in the lungs,
oral administration of Pyunkang-tang (PGT) alleviated the severity of pulmonary fibrosis.
