Breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy and chemical therapy in large numbers, in the process of tumor suppression, bone marrow, gastrointestinal mucosa, central nervous system and heart, liver, kidney function have some of the damage.
Chinese medicine believe that radiation therapy and chemotherapy is a heat injury Poison Yin, easy to wear and tear righteousness, which harms both the five organs at this time should be compatible with righting strengthen our foundation, cool detoxification, nourishing yin of the law to righting Quxie, which is of Chinese medicine to reduce radiotherapy, chemotherapy side effects, as well as after surgical removal of the body to rest up, strengthen their self-defense capabilities.
Radiation and chemical treatment on the physical harm
Radiation therapy and chemotherapy with surgery and used, can reduce or slow down the cancer’s recurrence, or temporarily relieve pain and other symptoms, but because of, the role of radiation therapy can cause immune suppression and bone marrow suppression effect, and most of the chemicals metabolism by the liver and kidneys, so its toxicity and side effects common are as follows:
1. Bone marrow suppression: white blood cells, thrombocytopenia, giant red blood cells anemia.
2. Gastro-intestinal discomfort: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, ulcers, stomatitis, esophagitis.
3. Liver and kidney metabolism and injury.
4. Dermatitis, skin burns, rashes, skin pigmentation, skin redness.
5. Alopecia, vasculitis, liquid Liu Zhi, blood calcium is too high, bleeding.
6. Epithelial cells and soft tissue burns, and bone demineralization (Yi caused by the movement due to intense pathological fractures).
TCM nourishing France after chemotherapy, therefore, acceptance of, radiation therapy, the medicine can not be imposed on the use of highly toxic nature of the attack Jun drugs, but also must not be too cool and detoxification of drugs available, or days in a short time, micro-turn for the better after the an immediate change evil dead. At this point in nourishing therapies as the main body is the best treatment.
Nourishing method can be divided into Rehmannia agent, qi agent, make up the spleen and stomach agents 4 agents. All agents are described below:
1. Di Huang agent a major role in the liver, kidney, reproductive endocrine system (commonly known as Gate of traditional Chinese medicine) and bone marrow. Of hematopoietic and nerve conduction (TCM, said the fire phase), blood pressure constant, edema, ascites, diuretic bad, heart and lung function decline are. If after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the hematopoietic function is extremely poor by a variety of drugs, blood transfusions are ineffective when the kidney can be used to yellow agent therapies, respectively, subject to Yin, Yang. Yin who used Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Zhibai Dihuang Wan, Bai He Gu Jin Tang, Zuo Gui Wan …. and so on. Yang and who can be used GFB, Jingguishenqi pill, right Gui Wan, Ho-Da-pill …. and so on. Could join the drug is effective against breast cancer, such as dandelion, mountain arrowhead, Hedyotis diffusa, frankincense, myrrh, honeysuckle, Vaccaria …… and so on. The platelet deficiency, could join the Ze 7, hematopoietic function of poor may increase antler, cinnamon, Sichuan 7, ginseng …. and so on. Low white blood cells can be added Polygonum cuspidatum, mountain ramie roots. Edema, diuretic bad matters worse Poria, Ze of the amount of homes.
2. Qi agent, also known as Astragalus agent. However, Huang Qi to use the North Society, the main purpose is to adjust the blood vessel peristalsis to facilitate organ or tissue damaged microcirculation enhancement, improve heart and lung function, so that the body of oxygen and the oxygen supply situation has improved, and further the body to repair damaged organization. For the radioactivity caused by excessive exposure to a variety of side effects, hand-foot palsy, burns, thrombosis, necrosis, or wound does not heal after surgery the use of either Astragalus agents, such as DBD, BYHWD, Huang Qi Jian Zhong Tang. … and so on.
3. Supplement the spleen and stomach function in adjusting the dose of their cell infiltration features, intracranial pressure infiltration of liquid nerve function, prevention of diseases caused by stagnant water, to enhance diuretic function, reduce the concentration of the various lymph channels, so that non-blocking while the goal of reducing water Deposition and retention, edema or cause to avoid the blood vessel wall or cell fluid inside and outside the glass-like precipitation. Thereby contributing to gastrointestinal function and the reticular layer of the organization, or technology, radiation damage to the vascular intima, peeling off the walls after the hardening of blood vessels damage and diameter narrowing, and there is appetite to increase the intestinal absorption of nutrients function. Fill a prescription stomach agent has four gentlemen soup, Liujunzi soup, Xiangsha Liujunzi soup, SHENLINGBAISHU dispersed, Wu Ling San …. and so on.
4. Four more agents, such as Saint soup, four things soup. For the breast cancer tumor stasis or general heat, blood heat persons, regardless of surgery or have been, radiotherapy, or purulent, ulcerated or not, on liver function, blood vessel circulatory system, or a variety of epithelial cells and tissues, such as the peeling endometrium, oral cavity, esophagus …. and so on and bleeding by key curable.
In general, in addition to yellow agent, the remaining three series of prescriptions are usually used in combination, such as SDT, that is, its representatives, but, depending on changes in symptoms of addition and subtraction of the CD, the drug of addition and subtraction methods may refer to Huang agent, through technology, radiotherapy can be used to replace ginseng Salvia, Salvia of various epithelial cells and the vessel wall of the patch compared with ginseng good, meaning that the blood circulation.
