A hundred years of bitterness, two generations of Chinese medicine to overcome the road of lung nodules

On the way to Dong Rong Tang, I remembered my mentor, who had taken root in the countryside in his early years and encountered poor patients who did not even want the most basic expenses.

When he was 60 years old, he came to Dongrong Hall, saved people, educated people, and worked hard for 20 years, at the age of 80, he still went to the hospital despite his family's opposition, and finally fainted on the front line and never got up again.

I was the only apprentice in his life, and many times, I stood outside the flower bed and watched life bloom and wither, season after season, feeling that he had not actually left the world, and I was the continuation of his life.

There was a patient in the outpatient clinic before, a local, who had seen me several times before, and this time he came to me to see his lung nodules, which had been 3 years and had taken Western medicine for a long time, but the effect was not great.

This year, the doctor said that the nodules in his lungs had exceeded 8 mm and recommended surgery to remove them, and he was a little scared, because he had heard that after cutting them, it was not a hundred, and it would grow later, and even grow faster.

I looked closely at his condition, the moss veins, the sputum wet and sleepy spleen, the imitation: oysters, ginseng, seaweed, peach kernels, safflower, half summer, tangerine peel, poria, white art, party ginseng, ephedra, bitter almonds.

As a result, the patient used for half a month, chest tightness, sputum cough, night sweats symptoms were alleviated, I instructed him to continue to take the drug, after more than a month, the symptoms have disappeared, I let him use for a period of time to consolidate the efficacy.

Many people think that the lung nodule is difficult to treat, but in my opinion, it is just a lump of phlegm that has not been cleaned up in time, forming a phlegm column and phlegm nucleus.

But everyone should clear, what Chinese medicine calls "phlegm" does not refer to the sputum discharged from the respiratory tract alone, but refers to the waste produced by poor water metabolism in the human body, which spreads to all parts of the body with the operation of qi and blood, and the stasis in different parts will cause different diseases, and the stasis in the lungs is a lung nodule.

So, when it comes to treatment, I divide it into five steps:

The first step - soft and firm loose knots - medicine: oysters, ginseng, seaweed.

Oysters attack, Xuan Ginseng assists, seaweed is laid down, sanwei medicine is used together, and the phlegm wet fortress can be conquered.

The second step - activate the blood and dissolve the stasis - medicine: peach kernel, safflower.

The meridians are not clear, the qi and blood cannot come in, the nodule will grow bigger and bigger if the qi and blood cannot enter, and at the same time, the qi and blood are righteous qi, and only when the righteous qi occupies this position, this position will not grow nodules, so we must not forget to activate the blood and dissolve the stasis.

The third step - to dispel dampness and phlegm - medication: tangerine peel, half summer.

These two herbs are the roses of time, after the precipitation of the years, the baptism of wind and rain to achieve a good medicine, the more aged the better, so they are combined together is the first party of phlegm and two Chen soups.

The fourth step - healthy spleen and correct - medication: white art, party ginseng.

Theoretically, the lungs are the organs of sputum storage, the spleen is the source of phlegm, the lungs are just guilty of the spleen, the lungs themselves do not produce phlegm, who produces this phlegm wet? It is the spleen, and the spleen is the source of phlegm. After eating something fat and sweet, the spleen's ability to transport is limited, and it can only transport phlegm into the lungs.

Step 5 - Lung Solution Table - Medication: Ephedra, Almonds.

Ephedra is a porous medicine, like a pinhole, so it can open the meridians of the skin pores, almonds can restrict the dryness of ephedra, ephedra opens the lungs, almonds lower lung qi, very compatible.

In his lifetime, he was good at treating real diseases such as polyps, nodules, and lipomas, and he once said to me: If one day you let such patients have surgery, don't say that you are my student.

I am also 65 years old this year, decades of clinical, teachers to teach me, I dare not forget for a moment, the above lung nodule patient asked me: You are so old, why go home to rest?

In fact, it's not that I don't want to rest, it's that as long as I think of my mentor, I feel that I am not qualified to rest, so as long as I can still move, I will go to the disease, and if one day I can be like the teacher, it will be considered to be dead.
