From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pulmonary nodules are "lung accumulation", which means that pathogenic factors accumulate in the lungs for a long time and form small pimples. These pathogens mainly include phlegm, dampness, fire toxin, qi stagnation, blood stasis and so on. The interaction of the two causes the imbalance of qi, blood and yin and forms nodules. Chinese medicine believes that loofah is sweet in taste and cool in nature, belonging to the lung meridian and has the effect of dredging the meridians and viscera of the human body. Therefore, patients with pulmonary nodules eat more loofah, which can reduce lung heat, detoxify and resolve phlegm.
