How does Chinese medicine treat lung cancer?

"Supplementing qi and nourishing yin" is the method of strengthening the body resistance, "resolving phlegm and promoting diuresis" is the method of eliminating pathogenic factors, and "softening hard mass and resolving hard mass" and "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" are another method of eliminating pathogenic factors in the treatment of tumors.

In the early stage of patients, due to the deficiency of vital qi, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly to "eliminate evil", while in the middle stage it is to "strengthen the body and eliminate evil" The combination of local and holistic treatment can not only reduce adverse reactions and improve curative effect, but also stabilize the focus and improve symptoms.

The advanced patients are mainly fatigue. At this time, the treatment should be based on "strengthening the body". Oral decoction based on strengthening the body resistance, removing pathogenic factors, clearing away heat and toxic materials, resolving phlegm and dispersing stagnation, and external treatment such as acupoint application can stabilize tumor focus, improve clinical symptoms, improve quality of life and prolong survival time, thus achieving "survival with tumor".

In addition, in the process of TCM treatment, the diet of lung cancer patients also needs attention.

Lung cancer patients have a light and digestible diet, and the principle is to eat less and eat more meals. Try to eat light and refreshing food or some acidic food, which has an appetizing effect. You can appropriately increase the intake of pork, beef and dark fruits and vegetables, such as spinach, rape, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc., and supplement hematopoietic raw materials such as iron, folic acid and vitamin B 12. For patients with deficiency of both qi and blood, attention should be paid to supplementing animal liver, meat protein and other foods that are beneficial to invigorating qi and generating blood. At the same time, you can also eat more black food, such as black sesame, black rice, black beans, black dates, black fungus and so on. This will help to improve the hemogram.
