Can Chuanbeimu treat pulmonary nodules

Chuanbeimu may have a certain adjuvant therapeutic effect on pulmonary nodules, but it cannot directly eliminate the nodules. Pulmonary nodules are usually caused by factors such as infection, inflammation, tuberculosis, or tumors. As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Fritillaria thunbergii has the effects of clearing heat, moistening the lungs, resolving phlegm, and stopping cough, which may alleviate some accompanying symptoms. It is recommended that patients with pulmonary nodules first identify the cause and receive comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Sichuan Fritillaria contains active ingredients such as Fritillaria A and Fritillaria B, which can inhibit respiratory inflammatory reactions, dilute sticky phlegm, and promote excretion. For inflammatory pulmonary nodules caused by chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., it may indirectly affect nodule development by reducing airway inflammation. Some patients may experience improvement in symptoms such as cough and chest tightness after taking it. However, it should be noted that Chuanbei has a slightly cold maternal body, and long-term use alone may damage the spleen and stomach yang qi. If pulmonary nodules are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, standardized treatment with anti tuberculosis drugs such as isoniazid tablets and rifampicin capsules is required. Nodules related to malignant tumors require surgical resection or chemoradiotherapy, and at this time, Fritillaria thunbergii can only be used as an auxiliary conditioning method. Clinical observations have found that when solid nodules or ground glass nodules with a diameter exceeding 8 millimeters continue to grow, the effectiveness of simple traditional Chinese medicine treatment is limited.

Patients with pulmonary nodules can take Tonic Diet such as lily Broth of white fungus, snow pear stewed scallop, etc. to avoid spicy food. It is recommended to have a chest CT scan every 3-6 months to observe changes in nodules. If there is hemoptysis, persistent chest pain, or sudden weight loss, seek medical attention immediately. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment requires differentiation and treatment. For phlegm heat type, Huangqin and Gualou can be combined, while for yin deficiency type, Ophiopogon japonicus and Panax ginseng should be added. The specific formula should be prescribed by a practicing traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
