Nodal Cysts All Over the Body? Traditional Chinese Medicine Reveals the Three Main Culprits!
Many people are troubled by nodal cysts all over their body, such as thyroid nodules, breast nodules, lung nodules, and even liver cysts, kidney cysts, and ovarian cysts. Why do these cysts and nodules seem to "favor" certain individuals? Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that emotional distress, dietary indiscretion, and prolonged illness and exhaustion are the three main culprits behind the formation of cysts and nodules.
1. Emotional Distress: Liver Qi Stagnation, Cultivating the Root of the Disease
Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that the liver governs emotions and is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body. When a person is chronically under stress, prone to anger, or in a depressed mood, the liver Qi cannot be released in a timely manner, leading to liver Qi stagnation. Stagnant Qi leads to blood stasis, and stagnant Qi also leads to water accumulation, obstructing the circulation of Qi, blood, and bodily fluids, forming blood stasis and phlegm-dampness. These pathological products are like "blockages," stagnating in various internal organs, eventually triggering the formation of cysts and nodules over time.
Patients with cysts and nodules often experience emotional distress, and the more easily they get angry, the more severe their condition and the greater the number of cysts and nodules.
2. Dietary Indiscretion: Spleen and Stomach Deficiency, Phlegm-Dampness Proliferation
People nowadays generally have poor dietary habits. They often eat without moderation, favoring spicy, greasy, and cold foods. These unhealthy eating habits can lead to the impairment of the functions of the spleen and stomach, causing the internal generation of phlegm-dampness. Phlegm-dampness is heavy, turbid, and sticky in nature and can hinder the circulation of Qi and blood, ultimately resulting in a constitution prone to phlegm-dampness and blood stasis, forming cysts and nodules, and aggravating the condition, increasing their number.
Therefore, for patients with cysts and nodules, maintaining good dietary habits for a long time is crucial to effectively prevent further deterioration of the condition.
3. Prolonged Illness and Exhaustion: Qi and Blood Deficiency, Weak Internal Organs
Many patients with cysts and nodules are older and suffer from chronic diseases that have not been cured for a long time. Over time, excessive depletion of Qi and blood leads to gradual decline in the functions of internal organs, making the cysts and nodules more susceptible to further deterioration.
For example, a female patient was diagnosed with thyroid nodules and ovarian cysts. During annual checkups, the nodules and cysts showed significant growth in size. This patient had an irritable personality, easily losing her temper, and often felt dry throat discomfort, right lower abdominal pain, even headaches when she was angry, and her menstrual flow was heavy. The tongue examination showed a dark red tongue with a thin coating.
After TCM diagnosis, the patient was found to be of the "stagnant heat and mutual obstruction" type due to long-term emotional suppression and heat transformation. The treatment employed Huangqi to strengthen the spleen and replenish Qi, dry dampness and promote urination, and enhance immunity; Sanleng and Eshui to move Qi and disperse swelling, break blood stasis and remove stagnation; Xakucao to resolve phlegm, soften hardness and disperse nodules; Yimucao to activate blood circulation and remove stasis; Ban Zhi Lian to clear heat and cool blood, dissolve stasis and relieve pain; Puhhuang to transform stasis and stop bleeding; Shan Zha to digest food and remove stasis, among other herbs, for treatment.
After a period of treatment, the patient's symptoms of dry throat, right lower abdominal pain, heavy menstrual flow, and headaches subsided. After follow-up treatment to consolidate the results, a follow-up examination showed significant shrinkage in the size of the thyroid nodules and ovarian cysts.
Conclusion:
The formation of cysts and nodules is not without cause, but rather closely related to pathological changes in the internal organs of the patient. Only by promptly adjusting the functions of internal organs and eliminating pathological products in the body can we fundamentally address the issue of cysts and nodules.
Hopefully, this article can help everyone better understand the causes of cyst and nodule formation, and pay attention to the management of emotions, diet, and physical condition to prevent and improve cyst and nodule problems.
