Soft lump on rear base of neck - help?

[Guest guest]

Questions: Ideas regarding the swelling. Dangerous in

the future? Importance of draining it or not? How to

get it to reduce and so on. Thank you for any ideas or

information!

 

Male, 32

6' 4 " , 230 lbs, weight fits build, except his middle

which carries his extra weight (20 lbs)

 

Has had a moveable, soft, painless lump at the rear

base of neck for over a decade. It has a dot at the

centre (opening to an oil gland). In western medicine

it looks like a sebaceous cyst.

Tongue: smallish body, light red or pink, thin,

yellowish sometimes greasy coating. Gloss low.

He has a history of constant gas and flatulence,

strong odour.

His appetite is good, as is his energy. He plays a

frisbee team sport.

He used to eat a large amount of dairy and bread.

He sleeps well and does not have much stress.

 

He went on a few courses of " Bo He Wan " and " Nei Xiao

Luo Li Wan " , after which his prior signs of food

stagnation leading to phlegm heat lessened by about

half, and his cyst seemed to stop growing for a few

years.

 

Currently:

His tongue coating is medium thickness, sometimes

greasy, white, sometimes a little yellow.

His gas is greatly reduced, and he has reduced his

dairy consumption by three-quarters.

Hello Hugo,

I am a bit new at TCM but have recently taken several courses in

Texas and Bejing. I am concerened about the size of the lump because

it was not specifically mentioned. Has it changed in recent years?

Have you tried a warm olive oil poltice to soften the area more and

perhaps allow drainage on its own? This person appears to have a

stressed earth constitution and may benefit from a TCM combination

herbal product. I am not familar with a lot of TCM companies but I

have used the two products below with sucess. I am a registered

nurse and have owned a western herbal shop for 12 years. I am

definately not giving medical advice here but the herbal TCM

supplements may be of help.

 

In Chinese herbology, Chinese Anti-Gas is considered " earth-reducing. "

Its Chinese name Xiao Dao can be translated to mean " clearing. " Under

Chinese philosophy, this formula is designed to move

energy (chi) to the head and support the natural elimination

of excess moisture and toxins.

Chinese Anti-Gas

BENEFITS

• Helps detoxify the body.

• Supports the digestive, intestinal and urinary

systems.

HOW IT WORKS

Chinese Anti-Gas is a Chinese formula combining

15 herbs. It supports both the digestive and detoxifying

functions of the body, including the urinary system. Its

primary herbs include agastache, crataegus, hoelen and

gastrodia.

Agastache is traditionally used to strengthen the stomach and to

increase energy. In Chinese culture, it is said to drive out

moisture. Crataegus, or hawthorn berry, helps metabolic clearing in

the body. Studies show that crataegus is also beneficial to the

heart. Hoelen is a fungus that grows on pine tree roots. It has been

used as a diuretic; Chinese herbalists use it to " drain dampness. "

In Japanese Kampo medicine, the fungus is used to promote urination.

Gastrodia is a traditional Chinese herb that is useful in

modulating " exuberant yang " of the liver and calming internal wind.

 

INGREDIENTS

Chinese Anti-Gas contains agastache tops, crataegus

fruit, hoelen sclerotium, magnolia bark, oryza fruit, shenchu

whole plant, citrus peel, gastrodia rhizome, w root,

typhonium rhizome, atractylodes rhizome, cardamom

fruit, platycodon root, ginger rhizome and licorice root.

RECOMMENDED USE

Take 3 capsules with a meal three times daily.

TCM Concentrate: Take 1 or 2 capsules with a meal

daily.

 

 

Chinese Blood Build (100 capsules)

By strengthening body-wide cleansing mechanisms already in

place, you allow your purified blood to deliver more nutrients

and carry away more cellular toxins. The result? You feel better

and body tissues heal more quickly. Chinese Blood Build is called Bu

Xue in Chinese, which can be translated as " to nurture the blood. "

 

HOW IT WORKS

In addition to the kidneys, the liver is a major facilitator of blood

purity. But an effective blood cleanser must deal with all of the

cleansing organs, including the colon and skin. Not only does Chinese

Blood Build help the body get rid of irritating toxins, it works to

prevent more toxic buildup. This herbal combination is " adaptogenic, "

meaning it has a tonic effect on the glandular system. This helps

normalize hormone production to relieve the stress that comes from

hormone imbalance.

 

Using the expertise of a respected Chinese herbalist, he developed

this unique formula to be an effective adjunct to the daily diet.

Only the finest raw materials are used, and each has a long history

of known benefits in the Chinese culture. Chinese Blood Cleansing

Formula

INGREDIENTS

Eighteen herbs contribute to the synergistic power

of this popular formula: dang gui root, ganoderma plant,

lycium fruit, peony root, bupleurum root, cornus fruit,

curcuma root tuber, salvia root and rhizome, achyranthes

root, alisma rhizome, astragalus root, atractylodes

rhizome, ho shou wu root tuber, ligusticum fruit,

cnidium rhizome, rehmannia root tuber cyperus rhizome,

panax ginseng root.

RECOMMENDED USE

Take 3 capsules with a meal three times daily.

TCM: Take 2 capsules a day with a meal.

Hugo:

 

Do you have a more precise location for the lump? Is

it near any major acupoints?

 

Has his flatulence changed with his diet?

 

Kind regards,

 

Jack

I have found a Nei Xiao Lei Li Wan

 

(Internal Scrofula Eliminating Pill)

 

Would this be what the patient has taken?

 

If so, was there a reason why this was discontinued?

 

Kind regards, Jack

Yup, sorry my bad spelling.

Yes. Mr. Patient doesn't take the lump too seriously.

Hi, Hugo:

 

Seems like this guy needs a little education, the Nei

Xiao Lei Li Wan should have taken care of the problem,

and sounds as if things were working smoothly.

 

Kind regards, Jack
