Health for All says
Lung cancer is one of the more common malignant tumors in the world, and the prevention and control of lung cancer has become a key research direction in the global medical community. As a TCM physician, I am well aware of the unique advantages of TCM theory in the prevention and development of lung cancer. This article will combine the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to popularize the knowledge of lung cancer prevention and treatment.
First, the way of health preservation is to focus on nourishing the lungs.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are the main qi machine, the main function of breathing and gasification, and the lungs are closely related to the skin and smell. Therefore, protecting lung health is of great significance for the prevention of lung cancer.
1.Regulate your mood.
Mood swings and excessive stress can easily lead to qi disorders, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are gold and are closely related to emotions. Therefore, regulating emotions and maintaining a good mood is extremely important for the maintenance of the lungs.
2.Eat right.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the five flavors enter the spleen, and the water and dampness return to the kidneys", and the function of the spleen and stomach to digest and absorb food plays a vital role in harmonizing the internal organs, qi and blood. We should pay attention to a light diet, eat less spicy and irritating food, and consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and fiber, such as apples, lemons, celery, etc., which will help clear the lungs and dissolve phlegm and protect the lungs.
2. The famous prescription of traditional Chinese medicine for the prevention of lung cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history in the prevention and development of lung cancer. Here are some ancient and modern remedies that can be used to help prevent lung cancer.
1.White fungus soup with wheat and winter.
Boiling wheat fungus, white fungus and rock sugar together into soup has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, clearing heat and detoxifying, helping to protect the respiratory tract and lungs, and enhancing the body's immunity.
2.Chuanbei pear paste.
Boiled Chuanbei powder and pear into a paste, often taken to help moisturize the lungs, cough and phlegm.
3.Mulberry apricot soup.
The white mulberry leaves and almonds are decocted into soup, which has the effect of clearing the lungs and dissolving phlegm, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, and can be used as a tonic for lung health care.
The above prescriptions are for reference only, if necessary, please use them under the guidance of a professional doctor.
3. Application of traditional Chinese medicine in lung cancer**.
For patients who already have lung cancer, traditional Chinese medicine also has a certain effect in adjuvant**.
1.Dissolves phlegm and relieves cough.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, lung cancer is often accompanied by symptoms such as phlegm dampness and cough. Drugs such as cypress kernel, coltsfoot flower, and cnidium monnieri can be used, which have the effect of dissolving phlegm and asthma, and help relieve the patient's cough symptoms.
2.Protect the liver and lungs.
Conventional use of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods in lung cancer patients is easy to cause liver damage. Traditional Chinese medicine chrysanthemum, hawthorn, astragalus, etc. can be used for liver protection, nourishing the lungs and replenishing qi, which helps to improve the patient's immunity and reduce the adverse reactions of the course of treatment.
In short, the prevention and development of lung cancer is a complex and long-term process, and the role of traditional Chinese medicine in it cannot be ignored. In life, we should pay attention to the protection of the lungs, regulate emotions reasonably, and maintain good eating habits. At the same time, if you already have lung cancer, you can also consider traditional Chinese medicine as an auxiliary means, hoping to minimize the threat of lung cancer to human health through the active application of traditional Chinese medicine.
