ZHOU Dayong's Experience in Treating Pulmonary Nodules with Jianpi Xiaoji Decoction
The probability of finding lung nodules in health examinations is increasing year by year.For patients without clear surgical indications,Western medicine currently has no clear treatment plan,and long-term follow-up is the main method.Director ZHOU Dayong believes that the formation and development of lung nodules are related to the lungs,spleen,and liver.The etiology is complex,with deficiency in the root and excess in the superficial.The imbal-ance of viscera function leads to Qi stagnation,phlegm and blood stasis,thus blocking the lung network.Director ZHOU created the Jianpi Xiaoji Decoction based on Shenling Baizhu powder and Chaihu Shugan powder.He flexibly adapted the prescription in clinical practice,sequentially regulated the viscera function,gradually balanced yin and yang,sof-tened and dispersed the nodules,and achieved good clinical efficacy,providing clinicians with a reference for diagnosis and treatment ideas and methods.
