Cancer is a very common disease in the world today, which brings great burden and distress to patients and families. Many people are confused about why they get cancer. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theories of Chinese medicine and quote ancient and modern prescriptions to answer the question of why people get cancer.
First of all, we need to understand why people get cancer involves two types of factors, which are endogenous factors and exogenous factors.
Endogenous factors refer to the body's own internal causes, including genetic mutations, immune system dysfunction, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of the human body are interconnected and interact with each other. If the five organs are dysfunctional or damaged, it will lead to the disorder of human body functions, so that cancer cells can take advantage of it. For example, the dysfunction of the viscera will lead to the accumulation of pathological factors such as dampness and blood stasis in the body, which in turn will destroy the normal physiological environment of the human body and provide conditions for the occurrence of cancer.
Exogenous factors refer to triggers from the external environment, such as air pollution, chemical exposure, dietary habits, etc. There are many ancient prescriptions related to cancer in the classical literature of Chinese medicine, some of which are designed for lesions caused by exogenous factors. For example, "Jin Kui Yaolu" records prescriptions such as "Peach Blossom Soup" and "Chai Hu Guizhi Soup", which are used for the patient's lesions such as Zhongjiao depression and fever, qi stagnation and blood stasis caused by the invasion of external evils.
In addition to endogenous and exogenous factors, we also need to be aware of some other factors that may trigger cancer. For example, long-term mental stress, mood swings and other unhealthy mental states can also increase the risk of cancer. Therefore, maintaining a healthy mind can effectively reduce the likelihood of cancer.
There are many effective ancient prescriptions for cancer in TCM**. For example, the "Huanglian Soup" that clears away heat and detoxifies and the "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" that nourishes and nourishes are widely used in the first class of carcinogenic diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
In short, the question of why people develop cancer is a very complex one, which involves the combined effects of endogenous and exogenous factors. By following a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet, and maintaining a good mental state, we can reduce our risk of cancer. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine also has its unique advantages and value in cancer, providing an effective method for cancer patients.
