In the past, many good Chinese medicine practitioners were very famous in various villages, but later with the development of the times, they gradually declined due to the lack of "medical qualification certificate", and although the current Chinese medicine has formal school education and Xi, it always feels that something is inferior.
Luckily, I grew up seeing the elders in my family practicing medicine, and I wanted to be like them, but the process was obviously not so easy.
Especially when I was a child, my grandfather treated many patients with lumps in their necks, and at that time I innocently asked, "What should I do if they have a lump on their neck?" Do you have to cut it off with a knife? ”
Grandpa smiled and said to me: "Don't be so troublesome, it's just that the phlegm and dampness in the body are condensed together, and it is good to use Chinese medicine to dissolve and excrete them." ”
At that time, I was in a fog, but later I benefited a lot from learning Xi and growing up.
A patient with a thyroid nodule before also had an obvious lump on his neck, about the size of a quail egg, with a hard, smooth texture, and no pain when pressed, but it would move up and down with the swallowing action.
When he first had a lump that was not big, he saw a doctor and said that it was not necessary, but there were no other countermeasures, such as relief and conditioning, etc., only that it could be better by itself regardless of it, but then it was delayed for three years, and it was not small.
In fact, many people have this mentality: don't worry about minor illnesses, just boil it. As a result, a small illness turned into a major illness, and it was really panicked.
Behind this phenomenon, there has always been a misunderstanding. "Minor illnesses don't care" should be established in the case of understanding the causes of the disease, through daily attention, to prevent the development of the disease, but also to cooperate with regular examinations to prevent the disease from progressing too quickly and delaying**.
Thyroid nodules grow from small to large, and the same is true, but the symptoms become more and more but do not pay attention to it, and finally the lump will press on other places, causing hoarseness, poor breathing, difficulty swallowing and other problems.
In the detailed differentiation of this patient, his pulse is thin and astringent, the tongue coating is white and greasy, the tongue is light, and he often has a bad appetite, he can't eat and has no energy.
Hearing this, the patient wondered, "What do you mean?" I don't have a lot of phlegm, do I? ”
In fact, this phlegm and dampness is because of his spleen deficiency, which is too inefficient for the water and dampness in the body, and finally it will overflow. For example, the patient's white greasy tongue coating and poor appetite are a portrayal of spleen deficiency and dampness.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem, it is necessary to solve the problem of spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness, and it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and dissolve phlegm.
So the prescription was: Banxia, Poria cocos, Forsythia, Yujin, Zhejiang fritillary.
After using ten doses first, the patient has obvious appetite increase, fatigue is also reduced, and the state is getting better and better, less than three months, the nodule can no longer be felt, and then the examination is indeed gone.
Let's go back to this recipe:
Banxia and Poria cocos are very phlegm, spleen-invigorating, and dampness-relieving drugs, which are specifically aimed at phlegm and dampness, and if the spleen is nourished, it can better control water and dampness;
Then use orange leaves and turmeric, to play the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, and dredge the meridians, so that it is not easy to block the phlegm, dampness and stasis together;
Zhejiang fritillary and forsythia are mainly responsible for the key phlegm dispersion, swelling, as well as the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, after the toxins in the body are discharged, the body state will naturally recover.
In general, the problem of nodules is not complicated, but it is the product of the accumulation of phlegm and damp garbage, just find the root of the disease and clean it up! At the same time, I also hope that some friends who have no symptoms in their daily lives can not take medicine and put their hearts in their stomachs, but they should be aware of them, have regular check-ups, and do not miss the best period of the disease.
