Edit: I had someone comment one time when I did, and it was kind of weird and embarrassing? But it seemed like a fairly normal thing to do, so I thought I’d ask.

    Yes. The color of the mucus is informative for Chinese medicine. I don’t have the full details of it, but if it’s transparent, that means you are dealing with “cold” infection, and you should use herbs that are “hot”. Oppositely, yellow means “hot” infection, and you should use “cold” herbs.

    If you use the wrong herbs and fail to balance it out, the infection gets worse.
