Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lung nodules cannot be separated from qi stagnation, phlegm obstruction and blood stasis. Stagnation of qi and body fluid stops, promoting fluid production and resolving phlegm. Stagnation of qi, phlegm and blood stasis are intertwined. Once the stasis heat turns into poison again, the nodules and papules expand rapidly, the heat turns into poison, and the poison escapes, leading to the rapid development of the disease. Therefore, Chinese medicine divides lung nodules into six categories.
