To cut to the chase, today I want to talk to you about pulmonary nodules.
It should be noted that there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of pulmonary nodules, so most people only find out that they have nodules in their lungs after passing the physical examination.
When most people learn that they have nodules in their lungs, their first reaction is somewhat Worried, for fear that the nodules will become diseased.
In fact, even if you know that you have nodules in your lungs, you don’t have to worry too much. Although lung nodules can be divided into benign and malignant, most lung nodules The nodules are still benign.
So, where do lung nodules come from?
First of all, the pathogenesis lies in the lungs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs like to be moisturized and not dry. , dryness is most likely to attack the lungs, and dryness is fire evil, which easily burns body fluid and turns into phlegm. Therefore, the ancients also called the lungs the source of phlegm storage. Therefore, turbid phlegm is the root of nodules.
Secondly, the lungs regulate the water passages, and phlegm obstructing the lungs will inevitably hinder the distribution and operation of the water passages around the body. It will aggravate the root of phlegm turbidity.
In addition, although nodules arise due to yin and cold, they can be stagnant for a long time and turn into heat, and dryness and heat can breed. Combined with yin and cold, Chinese medicine calls it the exchange of cold and heat. Therefore, the symptoms of nodules are more complicated. Although phlegm is turbid, it cannot be treated solely by resolving phlegm.
The prescription introduced today is called Zeqi Tang, which comes from the “Synopsis of the Golden Chamber” written by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage in the Eastern Han Dynasty. this.
Zaiqi Soup: Zeqi, Guizhi, Baiqian, Aster, Ginseng, Pinellia, Ginger, Scutellaria, Licorice.
Zeqi, also known as cat’s eye grass, is actually very common, whether in ravines, small roadsides, or in The shadow of lacquer can be seen in the wilderness and wetlands.
We say that the essence of nodules is actually phlegm. The phlegm dissipated bit by bit.
