Can lung nodules be treated by drinking water infused with Siraitia grosvenorii (monk fruit), chrysanthemum, loquat leaf, tangerine peel, and Sterculia lychnophora (fat sea)?

In general, patients with pulmonary nodules can drink water infused with Siraitia grosvenorii (luo han guo), chrysanthemum, loquat leaf, dried tangerine peel (chen pi), and Sterculia lychnophora (pang da hai). However, intake should be moderate and not excessive. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Siraitia grosvenorii has effects of clearing heat, reducing internal fire, cleansing and moistening the lungs, relieving cough, and resolving phlegm. It can significantly alleviate throat discomfort caused by pulmonary nodules. Additionally, it is rich in vitamin C, which helps boost immunity. Chrysanthemum has properties of clearing heat and detoxifying, effectively relieving symptoms such as cough and sputum production due to excessive lung fire. Loquat leaf can moisten the lungs, relieve cough, clear heat, resolve phlegm, and soothe the throat. Drinking an appropriate amount of loquat leaf infusion can effectively alleviate cough and sputum associated with pulmonary nodules.

Dried tangerine peel (chen pi) helps eliminate greasiness, relieve nausea, improve digestion, strengthen the spleen and lungs, and reduce cough with phlegm. Moderate consumption provides certain symptomatic relief for patients with pulmonary nodules. Sterculia lychnophora (pang da hai) clears heat, moistens the lungs, lubricates the intestines to promote bowel movements, and benefits the throat and voice. For patients with pulmonary nodules who also experience symptoms such as cough, yellow phlegm, dry or painful throat, moderate use of pang da hai may help clear the lungs, soothe the throat, and relieve constipation.

In daily life, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is recommended, including quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, eating a balanced diet, and engaging in moderate physical activity.
