Introduction: Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, and the prevention and treatment of lung cancer has always been the focus of attention due to its high incidence and high mortality. While quitting smoking is one of the most effective ways to prevent lung cancer, quitting smoking alone is not enough. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theory of Chinese medicine and quote ancient and modern famous prescriptions to introduce you some ways to prevent lung cancer in addition to quitting smoking.
Lung cancer is a lung disease that occurs as a malignant tumour and is more common in smokers and people who have been exposed to harmful air for a long time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are an important organ of the human body, responsible for breathing, and are the body's qi organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of lung cancer is related to qi stagnation, phlegm dampness, fire poison and so on in the body. Therefore, in addition to quitting smoking, improving qi stagnation, phlegm dampness, fire poison and other physical constitution is also the key to lung cancer prevention.
First, massage the acupuncture points. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, massaging specific acupuncture points can promote the flow of qi and blood and regulate the function of the lungs. The first is the Taiyuan acupoint, which is located in the depression between the first and second segments of the toes, which can stretch the lungs and meridian qi and blood;The second is the Taibai acupoint, which is located in the depression between the first metacarpal bone and the second metacarpal bone at the junction of the palm and the back of the hand, which can regulate lung qi. By massaging these acupuncture points, it helps to improve the operation of qi in the body, enhance the function of the lungs, improve immunity, and then prevent lung cancer.
Secondly, medicinal diet conditioning. Traditional Chinese medicine diet has the characteristics of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and different medicinal diets can be selected for conditioning according to people with different physiques. For people who are prone to qi stagnation, you can choose ingredients that have the effect of regulating qi, such as hawthorn, tangerine peel, longan meat, etc., and make them into medicinal diets. For people with heavy phlegm and dampness in the body, you can choose ingredients that have the effect of dissolving phlegm, such as lotus seeds, poria cocos, coix seeds, etc., and make them into medicinal diets. In addition, you can also choose suitable ingredients for conditioning according to your specific situation, such as white radish, bitter gourd, kelp, etc., all of which have a certain anti-cancer effect.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine recipes are also one of the important auxiliary methods for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer. Among them, tangerine peel rose porridge is a commonly used herbal formula. Tangerine peel enters the lung meridian, has the effect of rational qi and phlegm, can improve lung function, eliminate dampness in the body;Roses have the effect of invigorating blood and dispersing knots, which can promote the smooth flow of qi and blood and enhance the body's ability to resist diseases. Cooked tangerine peel and roses to make porridge is both delicious and has the effect of preventing lung cancer.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine**, traditional Chinese medicine health preservation is also an important part of lung cancer prevention. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on balancing the yin and yang of the body, and pays attention to health preservation and self-cultivation. Through good lifestyle habits and dietary conditioning, you can enhance your physical fitness and improve your resistance, thereby preventing the occurrence of lung cancer. For example, people should maintain a regular routine and avoid excessive fatigueIn terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc.
In short, in addition to quitting smoking, TCM theories and ancient and modern prescriptions provide more feasible ways to prevent lung cancer. Massage acupuncture points, medicinal diets, traditional Chinese medicine recipes and Chinese medicine health preservation can all help to quit smoking and improve lung health. I hope that everyone can realize that the prevention of lung cancer is a comprehensive project, and it needs to be approached from multiple aspects to achieve the best results.
