Introduction

Generally, teas such as ginkgo tea, dandelion tea, lily flower tea, monk fruit tea, and golden buckwheat tea may have the effect of clearing the lungs and resolving nodules. During treatment and recovery, patients are advised to maintain a balanced diet and moderately consume lung-moistening foods such as Chinese yam, pig lung, bird's nest, tremella fungus, and glutinous rice, which may help support lung health.

Generally, teas such as ginkgo tea, dandelion tea, lily flower tea, monk fruit tea, and golden buckwheat tea may have the effect of clearing the lungs and resolving pulmonary nodules. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Ginkgo Tea

Ginkgo tea is made by steeping ginkgo leaves and has the benefit of clearing the lungs and resolving nodules. It can improve respiratory function and, to some extent, alleviate symptoms caused by lung nodules such as coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

2. Dandelion Tea

Dandelion tea has effects including clearing heat and detoxifying, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, moistening the lungs and reducing dryness, reducing swelling, and dispersing nodules. It can provide some relief for lung nodules.

Monk fruit is sweet in taste and cool in nature, affecting the lungs and large intestine meridians. It has functions of clearing heat, moistening the lungs, soothing the throat, improving voice, and promoting bowel movements. Monk fruit tea can eliminate heat pathogens from the lungs, reduce pulmonary inflammatory responses, and create a favorable environment for nodule recovery. Additionally, monk fruit tea contains mogrosides, amino acids, flavonoids, and other components that nourish and clear heat from the lungs and throat.

5. Golden Buckwheat Tea

Golden buckwheat tea helps clear the lungs and resolve phlegm, clear heat and detoxify, and expel pus and remove blood stasis, thereby promoting the dissipation of nodules. Moreover, it contains flavonoid compounds with strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, which can reduce the burden on the lungs, improve pulmonary circulation, and create favorable conditions for nodule resolution.

During treatment and recovery, patients are advised to maintain a balanced diet and consume in moderation foods known to moisten the lungs—such as Chinese yam, pig lungs, bird's nest, and tremella fungus—to support lung health.
