How does Chinese medicine view lung cancer?
Lung cancer is caused by external evils such as poison, phlegm dampness, and heat toxins, which invade the lung when the body’s positive energy is weak.
The pathological changes are due to the deficiency of positive qi and the accumulation of evil qi in the chest. If the lung Qi is deficient, the Qi stagnates and the blood stagnates, resulting in masses; if the spleen Qi is deficient, the phlegm and dampness produced by the lung and the external evil condense, resulting in masses; if the kidney Qi is deficient, the spleen does not transport and transform, the lung lacks a source of fluid, and if heat and toxicity are encountered, the fluid condenses into phlegm, which fights with the Qi and blood, resulting in masses. If the mass encroaches on the lung veins and channels in the airway, the cough may be sick or bloody, and even hemoptysis may not only occur. If the mass increases in size and obstructs the airway, the Qi cannot flow freely, resulting in shortness of breath or suffocation of breath. If the disease lasts for a long time, the accumulation of evil increases sharply, phlegm and dampness obstruct it, and the poisonous evil becomes even worse, which can lead to fever, and then the lung qi is not consolidated, resulting in symptoms such as vicious cold and sweating. In short, the disease is due to the deficiency of the disease, due to the deficiency of the actual; deficiency for the root of the disease, the actual for the symptoms of the disease.
