Nowadays, more and more people are checking for thyroid nodules, lung nodules, breast nodules, etc., and after surgery to remove them, after a year or two, the body is found to have nodules again.
I had a patient who had a lung examination during a physical examination and found a lung nodule about 6mm in his left lung. This patient was frightened when he heard that he was going to have surgery, and he heard that seeing Chinese medicine could cure him, so he thought about trying Chinese medicine treatment.
When this patient came to me, he was thin, yellow-faced, and did not sleep well, looking at his tongue and pulse, the tongue was dull, the tongue coating was slippery, the pulse was weak, his spirit was poor, and he often felt weak and weak.
After learning more about it, I gave him a recipe: bellflower, desmodium, lentils, oysters, kelp.
After taking it for a month, the patient's poor spirit, weakness and weakness symptoms improved a lot, and the pulse was not as weak as before, and the nodule was found to have shrunk to 4mm when he went to the hospital for examination. After continuing to take it for another three months, when the patient went for a follow-up examination, the nodule was gone, and there was no recurrence after that, and all other symptoms disappeared.
What's going on here?
In fact, pulmonary nodules are that the lungs are too "hungry", in the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen belongs to the soil, the lungs belong to gold, and the spleen and soil can nourish the lungs. In other words, the spleen and the lungs are mother-child relationships, the spleen is the mother of the lungs, and the spleen should provide sufficient nutrients to the lungs to ensure the health of the lungs.
We all know that cereals are the most nourishing food for the body, if the long-term intake of less grains will lead to weakness of the spleen and stomach, and the subtlety of the water grains will be less.
Let's take a look at this recipe again:
Platycodon, lentils - nurturing the spleen
Desmodium – excretes dampness
Kelp, oysters - soft and firm and loose
