Health for All says
First of all, TCM believes that the lungs are the main qi, which is closely related to breathing. The flow of qi and blood in the human body is smooth, which can maintain the normal function of the human body. However, when the flow of qi and blood is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to the occurrence of diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of lung cancer is closely related to the interaction of internal and external factors, and the four main culprits include phlegm dampness, fire poison, phlegm heat, and stagnation.
Phlegm and dampness is a common physical problem, which is mostly caused by poor lifestyle habits and improper diet, which leads to the accumulation of dampness in the body. Long-term retention of phlegm and dampness can lead to poor qi, which in turn affects the normal function of the lungs, thereby increasing the risk of lung cancer. Therefore, the adjustment of reasonable diet and living habits, such as eating less thick and greasy food, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and keeping indoor ventilation and dryness, has positive significance for the prevention of lung cancer.
Fire poison refers to the retention and accumulation of toxins in the body, which is mostly caused by emotional instability, high life pressure and other factors. The long-term accumulation of fire poison can disrupt the normal function of the lungs, resulting in poor qi and lung cancer. Therefore, maintaining a happy mood, learning to regulate emotions, avoiding excessive anxiety and stress, exercising, and strengthening resistance play an important role in the prevention of lung cancer.
Phlegm heat refers to the accumulation of "phlegm fire" in the body due to hot and damp heat in the body. Improper diet, post-illness weakness and other reasons can easily lead to phlegm and fever. The presence of phlegm heat can cause damage to the lungs, making the qi flow poor, which in turn increases the risk of lung cancer. Therefore, developing good eating habits, eating more light food, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and reasonably regulating the spleen and stomach can effectively prevent the production of phlegm and heat and reduce the risk of lung cancer.
Stagnation refers to the accumulation of depression in the body caused by emotional discomfort, which is mostly caused by negative emotions such as long-term depression and anger. Symptoms of stagnation include chest tightness, flank pain, etc., and if persisted for a long time, it can lead to poor qi, which can lead to the formation of lung cancer. Therefore, maintaining a good mood, avoiding excessive suppression of negative emotions, and actively participating in physical exercise and stress-relieving activities can help prevent the occurrence of lung cancer related to stagnation.
It is worth mentioning that Chinese medicine has many ancient and modern prescriptions for the prevention and development of lung cancer. For example, forsythia clear lung soup, bitter almond soup, Baibu clear lung drink and other prescriptions have good heat clearing and phlegm dissolving effects, which can help people improve their physical fitness and prevent the occurrence of lung cancer. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicines, such as white flower snake tongue grass, coria seed, bitter almond, etc., are also widely used in the process of lung cancer, with significant curative effects.
In summary, the formation of lung cancer is closely related to the four major culprits, including phlegm dampness, fire poison, phlegm heat, and stagnation. By adjusting dietary habits, maintaining a good attitude, exercising reasonably, and developing healthy lifestyle habits, the occurrence of lung cancer can be effectively prevented. In addition, TCM prescriptions have unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, and can be used as a good choice for adjuvants. Finally, we would like to remind everyone that lung cancer as a serious disease needs to be prevented as soon as possible, and regular physical examination is very important, and if possible lung cancer risk factors are found, please seek medical attention in time.
