Experience in Treatment of Thyroid Nodules with Wind Medicinals
This paper summarized the experience in treatment of thyroid nodules with wind medicinals. We believe that the disease location is mainly at the liver, spleen and lung, and the main pathological factors are
qi
stagnation, phlegm congealing and blood stasis.
Qi
movement stagnation is the key pathogenesis of thyroid nodules. Wind medicinals have the function of ascending, dispersing, diffusing and dissipating, and can unblock the stagnation and stasis of
qi
and blood, which is fit for the treatment of thyroid nodules. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation is suggested. Besides, wind medicinals such as Chaihu (
Radix Bupleuri
), Bohe (
Herba Menthae
), Jiegeng (
Radix Platycodonis
), and Chenpi (
Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae
) can be used to assist regulating
qi
movement and dredging stagnation. Warm and dry wind medicinals with nature of dispelling dampness can be used to assist in dispersing phlegm and dampness and removing blood stasis, such as Fangfeng (
Radix Saposhnikoviae
), Gegen (
Radix Puerariae Lobatae
), Baizhi (
Radix Angelicae Dahuricae
) and Qinjiao (
Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae
). Wind medicinals including Chuanxiong (
Rhizoma Chuanxiong
), Ezhu (
Rhizoma Curcumae
), Yanhusuo (
Rhizoma Corydalis
), Xiangfu (
Rhizoma Cyperi
), and Chuanshanlong (
Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae
) are advised to help dissolve stasis and unblock collaterals, and dissipate accumulations.
