More and more people are found to have "lung nodules or small nodules" during health check-ups. Generally speaking, the smaller the nodules, the lower the probability of malignancy, it is reported that 40% of lung nodules with a diameter greater than 20mm are malignant, and more than 90% of lung nodules less than 8mm are benign.
According to TCM, nodules are tangible lumps that fall under the category of "accumulation of evidence" in TCM. The lungs are delicate and communicate with the outside world, and various harmful gases such as tobacco and dust can directly enter the lungs and be deposited, which is an accumulation. In addition, people with ordinary body deficiency are prone to pulmonary sarcoidosis, such as lack of qi and blood, body yang deficiency, internal injuries and seven emotions, uncontrolled eating, irregular work and rest, these triggers will lead to qi and blood blockage, phlegm and stasis, accumulation and onset.
It can be seen that the formation of pulmonary nodules is often closely related to the internal environment of the body. If there is a problem with the internal environment of the body, there is a possibility that the lung nodule may recur even if it is surgically removed. Therefore, only by changing the internal environment of the body can the nodule not recur. The so-called weeding should be eradicated, and the symptoms should be cured.
Pulmonary nodules are the early lesions of pulmonary impotence, or they are characterized by coughing and floating pulses. Zhang Zhongjing believes that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules and the invasion of external evils into the human body, in the case of lack of ordinary fluid, the lack of fluid is easy to produce internal heat, external cold and internal heat, yin deficiency and phlegm turbidity, Zhang Zhongjing's Magnolia Ephedra soup is the main one, this is the mystery of the treatment of pulmonary nodules.

ephedra
Fangzhong magnolia is bitter and warm, wide chest and qi, eliminating phlegm and asthma; Ephedra, bitter almonds promote lung drinking, cough and asthma; fine pungent, dried ginger, and banxia chemical drink to reduce adversity; Gypsum clears depression and heat, removes irritability; Schisandra chinensis is used to suppress cough in the lungs, and anti-ephedra and other pungent and warm divergent drugs are too divergent; Wheat nourishes the spleen and stomach.
