From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, nodules, polyps, phlegm-dampness, and even some stubborn stagnant lesions in the body fundamentally stem from "poor circulation of qi and blood."

Qi is the commander of blood, and blood is the mother of qi. Once the circulation of qi and blood becomes obstructed, it is like a river channel being silted up or a road being blocked. Metabolic waste cannot be smoothly expelled, accumulating and stagnating between the organs and meridians.Over time, these stagnant phlegm-dampness and blood stasis intertwine, eventually condensing into substantial nodules, polyps, or a lingering and difficult-to-resolve phlegm-dampness constitution.

Therefore, the core idea of regulation must beUnblockOnly by allowing the flow of qi and blood to circulate smoothly again can stasis be resolved, phlegm-dampness be dispersed, and the problem be improved at its root.

Among the many traditional Chinese patent medicines that clear stasis, dry dampness, and resolve phlegm,Xiaojin PillIt is a commonly used and clinically effective medicinal substance.

Xiaojin Pills:Artificial Musk, Momordicae Semen (shelled and degreased), Prepared Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Liquidambaris Resina, Olibanum (processed), Myrrha (processed), Trogopterori Faeces (stir-fried with vinegar), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (stir-fried with wine), Pheretima, Ink Stick

The formulation concept of Xiaojin Pills originates from the traditional Chinese medicine classic theory of "dispersing nodules and unblocking collaterals," which can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty's "Complete Collection of External Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment." The book records that it was specifically designed forphlegm and blood stasis intermingling, meridian blockageDesigned for lumps and nodules caused by the condition.

Later generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have optimized the formula based on the physical characteristics of modern individuals making it more suitable for addressing nodules polyps and phlegm dampness issues caused by stress irregular routines and improper diet in contemporary people It has become a commonly used medication in clinical practice for regulating such conditions

Modern people are under great stress and have emotional stagnation. They often eat raw, cold, and greasy food, which leads to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach in transportation and transformation, resulting in internal phlegm-dampness that further obstructs qi and blood. This is also a common issue among patients with nodules and polyps.

In the prescription,Artificial MuskAromatic and penetrating, it can open orifices and unblock collaterals, activate blood and disperse nodules. It serves as the "pioneer" in clearing meridian blockages, allowing subsequent medications to reach the affected area directly.

Momordica cochinchinensisIt can disperse masses, reduce swelling, attack toxins, and heal sores, with a targeted effect on resolving hard lumps formed by phlegm-dampness stagnation.

Frankincense, MyrrhIt is a classic pairing for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving pain, and dispersing nodules. The Compendium of Materia Medica records that the two "are used in combination, excelling at promoting blood circulation to relieve pain, reducing swelling, and promoting tissue regeneration." They can resolve deep-seated blood stasis and alleviate the distending pain and discomfort caused by nodules and polyps.

Prepared Aconiti Kusnezoffii RadixWarm the meridians and dispel cold, expel wind and remove dampness, targeting the deep-seated cold and stubborn dampness in individuals with phlegm-damp constitution, fundamentally warming and unblocking the meridians, and driving away cold and dampness.

Trogopterus Dung, Chinese AngelicaOne breaks and one supplements. Wu Ling Zhi breaks stasis and stops pain, while Dang Gui nourishes blood and invigorates blood circulation, preventing damage to yin blood from excessive attack, making the dredging process gentler.

EarthwormPromoting menstruation and activating collaterals clearing heat and promoting diuresis it can guide medicine downward unblock deep stasis in meridians and collaterals and simultaneously resolve phlegm dampness stagnation transforming into heat

Resina Liquidambaris, Ink StickIt can assist in dispersing nodules and reducing swelling, drying dampness and promoting astringency, allowing congealed phlegm-dampness and blood stasis to dissipate more quickly.

The formula is ingeniously composed, featuring potent herbs like artificial musk and Momordica cochinchinensis to "attack" and remove stasis, as well as gentle herbs like Angelica sinensis to "tonify" qi and blood. This achieves the goal of eliminating pathogens without harming the body's vital energy and clearing blockages without depleting qi, perfectly aligning with the core pathogenesis of "qi and blood stagnation, phlegm and stasis intermingling."

Let me share with you a real case I treated

Last year, I treated a 45-year-old Ms. Zhang. During her physical examination, thyroid nodules (approximately 1.2cm × 0.8cm in size) and intestinal polyps (0.5cm in diameter) were detected. She often felt heavy in the body, experienced chest tightness and abdominal bloating, had sticky and loose stools, a thick and greasy tongue coating, and a wiry and slippery pulse—a typical constitution of phlegm-dampness obstruction and qi-blood stagnation.

Based on her condition, after syndrome differentiation, I used Xiaojin Pill as the base formula and made modifications and additionsPoria, Atractylodes, Tangerine Peeland other spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing herbs, while advising her to adjust her daily routine, maintain a light diet, and keep her emotions balanced.

After completing one course of treatment, she reported a significant reduction in feelings of heaviness in the body and chest tightness, and her bowel movements became regular and well-formed. After persisting with the treatment for three courses, a follow-up examination showed that the thyroid nodule had shrunk to 0.6cm×0.4cm, and the intestinal polyp had not increased in size. Subsequent follow-ups over six months indicated that both the nodule and polyp remained stable and showed positive improvement, and her phlegm-damp constitution also improved significantly.

Overall, Xiaojin Pills haveResolving Masses and Reducing Swelling, Removing Stasis and Relieving PainEfficacy. Clinical studies have shown that it can effectively alleviate symptoms, reduce lesions, improve the circulation of qi and blood, and enhance the body's metabolic capacity for individuals with nodules, polyps, and phlegm-damp constitution caused by the mutual binding of phlegm and stasis, as well as the obstruction of qi and blood.

It is particularly important to note that Xiaojin Pills contain processed aconite root and other ingredients, and are prescription drugs.Never purchase and take medication on your ownDifferent individuals have varying constitutions, locations of lesions, and severity of conditions, so the combination of medications must be adjusted accordingly. It is essential to use them under the guidance of a professional TCM practitioner or pharmacist based on syndrome differentiation.
