Speaking of polyps, I believe everyone should be familiar with it. Many people have this problem at present. From the biological point of view, polyp is a kind of vegetation growing on the surface of human mucosa, most of which are benign. But in order to prevent signs of malignant transformation, polyp patients will seek treatment. So what should Chinese medicine do about polyps?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that polyps are mostly caused by phlegm and blood stasis, qi stagnation and blood stasis. To put it bluntly, it is because the human qi is not smooth, which leads to the combination of blood stasis, phlegm dampness and turbid qi, and finally forms polyps. Therefore, people with polyps are either qi stagnation and blood stasis, or phlegm dampness.

Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is also said that people with polyps are mostly people with three constitutions. If you are qi-depressed, then you should soothe the liver and regulate qi. If it is blood stasis constitution, then it is necessary to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If it is phlegm-dampness constitution, then it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm. The specific conditioning method requires face-to-face consultation with offline doctors.

Today, I'm going to share with you a prescription for treating polyps, Jisheng Wu Mei Pill, which was strictly used by doctors in the Song Dynasty. The main ingredients are dark plum and stiff silkworm.

Mume is a medicinal material with homology of medicine and food. The taste is sour and astringent, and the medicinal properties are relatively peaceful. It can enter liver, spleen, lung, stomach and large intestine. Has the effects of astringing lung, astringing intestine, promoting fluid production and astringing. Moreover, the effect of killing muscle and eating bad meat of ebony is recorded in the Classic of Materia Medica.

Bombyx batryticatus is warm, pungent and salty, and enters the lung, liver and stomach meridians. It has the effects of calming wind, relieving spasm, expelling wind, relieving pain, resolving phlegm and resolving hard mass.

To sum up, the combination of the two is undoubtedly the best partner to dissipate polyps, one closed and the other dispersed. Finally, I need to remind everyone that this is just a main prescription to dissipate polyps. The specific treatment needs to match an auxiliary medicine according to where your polyp grows, so doctors still need to treat it according to syndrome differentiation. If you don't understand anything, you can leave me a message in the comments section and I will answer them one by one.
