Abstract:
This article summarizes professor HAN Mingxiang's clinical experience in treating pulmonary nodules with herbal triads. Professor HAN considers lung qi depletion to be the root of pulmonary nodules, with accumulation of phlegm, stasis, and toxin as the branch, while stagnation of qi movement runs throughout the course of the disease. Treatment should therefore focus on regulating qi and blood, resolving phlegm and stasis, and dispersing toxin knot, supplemented by reinforcing healthy qi and resolving constraint. In clinical practice, commonly used herbal triads include Huangqi (Radix Astragali)-Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis)-Xianhecao (Herba Agrimoniae), Zhebeimu (Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii)-Xuanshen (Radix Scrophulariae)-Muli (Concha Ostreae), Ezhu (Rhizoma Curcumae)- Yiyiren (Semen Coicis)-Zeqi (Herba Euphoribiae Helioscopiae), Dilong (Pheretima)-Tubiechong (Eupolyphaga seu Steleophaga)-Bihu (Gecko), Jinqiaomai (Rhizoma Fagopyri Dibotryis)-Maozhuacao (Radix Ranunculi Ternati)- Yuxingcao (Herba Houttuyniae), and Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri)-Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)-Zhizi (Fructus Gardeniae). Through appropriate combination, these herbal triads exert mutually reinforcing and assisting effects, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy and reducing toxicity.
