In the outpatient clinic, many patients with pulmonary nodules come to see the clinic, and the first sentence is: Director Ye, can I be cured by Chinese medicine, I don't want surgery!

Every time I have to explain from the beginning, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, pulmonary nodules are not a disease at all, but just a symptom, as long as it is benign, do not do surgery lightly, and must not over-treat.

Why?

I have said it a thousand times, pulmonary nodules are not a disease, just a symptom, don't operate lightly, don't overtreat

Nowadays, lung nodule surgery, to put it bluntly, is to cut off the nodules on the lungs along with the surrounding normal lungs, no matter how big or small the operation is, as long as the lungs are cut out, the lungs will never grow back. Lung damage is one thing, the puncture site will also leave scars, cords, if the patient is not in good health, lung nodules are still easy to recur.

Many people only know about surgery after having a nodule, or take medicine to control it and not grow it, but they don't know that this kind of behavior is like a stick to educate adolescent teenagers, and the result is often counterproductive.

This is the case of 50-year-old Mr. Hou, who had a physical examination half a year after the operation for lung nodules, and new nodules grew in the original resected area. This is not a small probability event, in fact, the detection rate of pulmonary nodules is much higher than everyone thinks, and it is possible to find pulmonary nodules if you find a person on the street to take a lung CT.

Why?

Because we breathe every day, this causes a lot of fine particles, dust, and viruses to enter the alveoli, and the lungs are definitely not dry, and the righteous qi in the body fights with these external evils, and the accumulation of more lungs leaves traces of battle, scars, calcifications, and small cell bulges.

This is the main cause of nodules in most people, and some people are infected with respiratory diseases, untreated or drug abuse. Therefore, if you want to avoid the recurrence of nodules, you must treat them from the root and adjust your physique.

The lungs are equivalent to the battlefield, viruses and bacteria are external evils, and the best way to resist external evils is to improve people's righteousness, and the best way to improve people's righteousness is to adjust their physique.

Take the prescription I gave to Mr. Hou as an example: Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Poria Cocos, Banxia, Licorice, Zhejiang Fritillary, Cinnamon Branch, Danpi.

(Astragalus membranaceus)

In this recipe, the medicine that is soft and hard and disperses knots is actually three flavor medicines - Zhejiang fritillary, cinnamon branch, and danpi, and the other 6 flavor medicines are all used to regulate the physique: Banxia is used to dispel phlegm and dampness, Mr. Hou's face is yellowish, his tongue is pale and pale, his pulse is thin, his cough is low, his mouth is dry, his mouth has a peculiar smell, his stool is dry, and his urine is short and red.

As a result, Mr. Hou's nodules not only disappeared, but also did not recur after a year of follow-up. Not only was the illness cured, but the lungs were not stabbed in vain, and everyone was happy.
