Why is the incidence of thyroid nodules increasing in recent years?
One reason is that with the development of science and technology, the ancients also had thyroid nodules, but they were called "gall tumors". And because of the backward technology, unless the patient has obvious uncomfortable symptoms: neck thickening, neck pain and so on. When these problems appear, people realize that they have courage.
But now we pay more and more attention to health, and many people have physical examinations on time every year, which means that more and more people find thyroid nodules, and the incubation period of nodules is shortened.
Secondly, with the increasing pressure of modern life, various things in work and family, such as buying a house and supporting a family, have increased, which means that people's life pressure has become greater, and long-term emotional problems will lead to stagnation of liver qi and thyroid disease.
Today, I recommend two Chinese medicines: Prunella vulgaris and Taraxacum mongolicum.
Can be used instead of tea, and can also be used together with other Chinese medicines. Both of them are very common, often growing in fields, roadsides and other places, and widely distributed, but it is not surprising that they are the "holy medicine" for clearing liver and protecting liver, and also the nemesis of neck agglomeration.
Prunella vulgaris: clearing away heat and purging fire, improving eyesight, dispersing stagnation and reducing swelling.
The first effect of Prunella vulgaris is to reduce swelling and dissipate stagnation.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Prunella vulgaris can treat cold-heat lymph node tuberculosis, head sore, abdominal rupture and caking, foot swelling and damp arthralgia."
Shennong's Herbal Classic records: "Treat cold and heat, scrofula, mouse leakage, head sore, broken disease, phlegm and blood stasis, swollen feet and damp arthralgia."
In the Ming Dynasty, there is a record of the treatment of Prunella vulgaris by making tea: Soak Prunella vulgaris in 300 ml boiling water for 15 minutes, daily 1 dose, and use it for drinking tea, which has the effect of clearing liver and dispersing stagnation.
Prunella vulgaris is effective not only for thyroid nodules, but also for breast and lymph node masses caused by stagnation of liver fire.
However, it should be noted that Prunella vulgaris is cold, and people with spleen and stomach deficiency should use it with caution.
The second effect of Prunella vulgaris-clearing liver and purging fire.
Prunella vulgaris can clear liver and purge fire, especially red eyes, headache and dizziness caused by liver fire, and can be used in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines. Often accompanied by chrysanthemum, concha Haliotidis and so on; Such as liver stagnation and blood deficiency, dizziness and headache, can be combined with Angelica sinensis and Radix Paeoniae Alba to nourish liver blood.
In addition, Prunella vulgaris can also relieve the swelling and pain of breast abscess. Patients with mastitis or hyperplasia of mammary glands can mash fresh Prunella vulgaris, wrap it in cloth and stew it in water twice a day, and apply the residue to the affected area with wine once a day.
Dandelion: clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing swelling and dispersing stagnation.
Dandelion is known as the "natural enemy" of thyroid nodules. China Pharmacopoeia says that soaking dandelion in water has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and detumescence.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that thyroid nodules are caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, so drinking dandelion tea can clear the heart, promote diuresis, eliminate blood stasis in the body, and help to dissipate thyroid nodules.
Modern research also found that dandelion leaves have anti-tumor effect, and regular use can improve the body's immunity. It is also beneficial to the dissipation of our thyroid nodules.
In addition, dandelion also has a certain effect on breast pain.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Dandelion is mainly used to treat women's mammary abscess, boiling water and drinking juice, and immediately sealing. Relieve food poisoning, eliminate stagnation, clear away heat and toxic materials, eliminate food poisoning, reduce swelling, eliminate tuberculosis and eliminate furuncle. "
In other words, women with liver qi stagnation feel breast pain and can drink dandelion water, which has the effect of reducing swelling and reducing fire. If there is inflammation due to milk blockage, they can also use it to reduce inflammation.
But like Prunella vulgaris, dandelion is cold. Drinking too much will aggravate the cold in the body and cause a serious burden on the stomach.
Therefore, people with bad stomach and cold constitution should use it with caution.
Having said that, how to correctly use Prunella vulgaris and dandelion to disperse knots?
In fact, there are many ways. It is also possible for many people to drink tea directly with Prunella vulgaris or dandelion. But Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation, so different people need different medicines and doses, so here I will simply share two small prescriptions with you:
First, take Buxus japonicus and Prunella vulgaris, boil water or make tea for future generations, which can play a certain role in dispersing stagnation, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling, and can be used for the adjuvant treatment of thyroid nodules and masses.
The second type: dandelion is cold. On this basis, cinnamon, red rose, orange peel, licorice, red dates, kelp, malt and peach kernel are added.
Reasonable compatibility of 9 kinds of medicinal materials makes its properties more mild.
Finally, remind everyone not to use drugs without authorization. The best way is to find a professional doctor and prepare Chinese medicine for scientific treatment according to your own situation.
