Ganoderma lucidum should be familiar to everyone, the legend is that Shennong's after tasting all the herbs found, also known as "fairy grass", "divine grass", "Ruicao", since ancient times have been collected by businessmen and nobles.
Shennong's Materia Medica" once mentioned that Ganoderma lucidum "knots in the main chest, benefiting the heart qi, replenishing and increasing wisdom do not forget", "can strengthen the body, nourish and strengthen, prolong life, and is a traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes the qi of the lungs and spleen", indicating that in ancient times, there was already a recognition that Ganoderma lucidum can treat lung nodules.
In modern times, there are many studies on the treatment of lung nodules by Ganoderma lucidum, and many research reports have been released by major scholars and schools.
In my opinion, Ganoderma lucidum mainly plays three roles in the ** lung nodules.
Moisturize the Five Meridians: Ganoderma lucidum is the only high-quality herb that can enter the Five Meridians (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys).
Promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis: Ganoderma lucidum contains wall-breaking Ganoderma lucidum spore powder and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, which are all ingredients that nourish qi and nourish essence, which can achieve the effect of nourishing blood and invigorating blood from the root.
Xuantong Lung Qi: There is a clear record in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that Ganoderma lucidum is flat, bitter in taste, non-toxic, and has the effect of calming the soul and benefiting the lungs, spleen, liver, and heart qi, and can well promote lung qi.
Although Ganoderma lucidum is a good medicine for lung nodules, I have been in clinical practice for 50 years, but I rarely use it, why?It comes down to being too expensive for the average person to afford.
Traditional Chinese medicine to cure diseases
As a medical culture that has been inherited for thousands of years, to tell the truth, the reason why most herbs and recipes were discovered and invented is actually to replace Ganoderma lucidum and Cordyceps for the "poor".
Although the effect of good medicine is better and more comprehensive, as long as the right syndrome type is identified and the right medicine is used, it can also have a good effect.
What is a lung nodule, in essence, is qi deficiency or qi stagnation in the body, which blocks the operation of qi and blood meridians, resulting in dysfunction of the viscera, resulting in phlegm and stasis, so the lung nodule is also called phlegm nucleus.
If you understand what pulmonary nodules are, it will be clear how to treat them, and it is nothing more than four points: promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, dispelling dampness and dissolving phlegm, promoting lung qi, and softening and dispersing knots.
In order to achieve these effects, there are many cheap Chinese medicines that can be replaced, such as cat's claw, a common weed in the southern fields, which ordinary people can see and touch, and the effect is particularly significant in dissolving phlegm and dispersing knots, detoxifying and reducing swelling.
I think there are two points in Chinese medicine when seeing a doctor, why should we pay attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment
The first is the dialectical typeto see what disease the patient is suffering from and prescribe the right medicine;
The second is to understand the real pain of the patientThe medicine prescribed should not exceed the patient's capacity, which is the real consideration for the patient. The medicine is too expensive for patients to afford, how can they treat the disease?
But now, many people are looking up to "performance" and forgetting the roots of traditional Chinese medicine, which is also sad.
