Traditional Chinese medicine is the traditional medicine in China, and it is very effective in treating most of the difficult and complicated diseases. However, TCM can not completely solve the patient’s disease like other diseases, so we need to pay attention to the means and methods of treatment when treating cancer.
What should be noted in the treatment of cancer in TCM?
1, Not to use a prescription blindly
In the treatment of cancer in TCM, patients cannot blindly choose the same prescription because the treatment of diseases in TCM is generally based on the specific situation of the drug ratios, and the same prescription cannot treat all diseases. Moreover, there are many different types of cancer, so using the same prescription can easily delay the disease.
2, Avoid using partial prescriptions
There are many prescriptions circulating in reality, but these prescriptions may not necessarily have a good effect in treating cancer. If you want to treat cancer reasonably, it is better to ask the relevant doctor, and whether the specific prescription can be used depends on the patient’s condition.
3, Avoid taking only Chinese medicine
Some patients prefer traditional Chinese medicine and blindly favor it in treatment, but this is very bad because cancer can bring a lot of harm to the body. Even though traditional Chinese medicine can control the problem of cancer cell spreading, it cannot be used simply to solve the harm of cancer and its complications. It is better to combine Chinese and Western medicine to solve the problem so as to ensure the patient’s prognosis.
4, Can’t blindly pursue individual case treatment effect
There are many successful isolations in clinical practice, mainly through the treatment of TCM to achieve complete cure of cancer. However, these cases are always a minority, and some of them may be related to the nature and constitution of the patient, so it is best not to generalize when treating. Patients still need to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and avoid pursuing the effect of complete cure.
5, The reasonable use of proprietary Chinese medicine
At present, proprietary Chinese medicine is a common clinical herbal medicine made of raw materials, this kind of medicine is convenient to carry, and also very convenient when using. However, pCms are ready-made herbal preparations, which are not guaranteed to be able to fully address the patient’s condition and have certain toxic side effects when used. Therefore, it is best for patients to use pCms for cancer treatment to ensure that they are taken on time and in the right amount to avoid damaging their bodies.
It is true that TCM can treat cancer, but TCM is not as miraculous as imagined and cannot play a role in completely curing cancer. Most of the time, it is mainly used as an adjuvant treatment to complement western medicine treatment, which can help prolong the survival period of patients and improve their quality of life.
