From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no concept of pulmonary nodules, and pulmonary nodules are "lung accumulation" in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, accumulation. In addition to the six evils of wind, cold, summer, humidity, dryness and heat, harmful gases such as automobile exhaust, kitchen fume and tobacco in modern society invade the lungs and accumulate in the lungs for a long time. If you add your own weak constitution and have blood stasis and phlegm, it is easy to form nodules.

Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment of pulmonary nodules is generally divided into three steps:

1, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis

Chinese medicine says that qi stagnation leads to blood stasis. Once there is a blockage in the body, so that the water in the body can not be discharged from the body, it is easy to form phlegm and dampness. Adding a piece of phlegm and blood stasis to them is the predecessor of nodules, so promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is the first priority.

2. Eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm

When the moisture stays in the body for a long time, the phlegm in the lungs will not only be discharged, but also cause fever or inflammation. At present, most of the nodules detected by physical examination are caused by inflammation, so it is very important to resolve phlegm.

3. Xuan lung qi

The last step is to improve the environment in the lungs, so that the blood stasis and phlegm in the body can be excreted through sweating, so as to achieve the effect of detumescence and stagnation.
