Patients with cancer are in a serious condition, so chemotherapy or radiotherapy is usually used to kill some of the cancer cells during treatment, but the normal cellular tissue function will be affected accordingly. If cancer patients have serious symptoms during treatment, they need to use certain adjuvant treatment to solve the symptoms, and TCM adjuvant treatment is a good choice.
What kinds of TCM adjuvant treatment can cancer patients choose during treatment?
1, Chinese herbal medicine treatment
Chinese herbal medicine is a common treatment method in Chinese medicine. For tumor patients, they can choose corresponding drugs to carry out treatment, because tumor patients are a typical type of disease for Chinese medicine, so they can use corresponding drugs to control. The use of Chinese medicine can not only promote the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also largely reduce the adverse effects brought by radiotherapy.
2, Chinese herbal medicine cleaning
The treatment method of Chinese herbal medicine cleaning is also a common adjuvant treatment method, mainly for patients with skin cancer or obvious skin lesions, because tumor patients will produce certain damage when undergoing treatment, especially radiotherapy will cause local skin adverse reactions. For this situation, Chinese medicine cleansing can be chosen to relieve the symptoms and can help patients prevent complications in treatment.
3, Chinese medicine enema
Chinese herbal enema is also a common Chinese medicine adjuvant treatment method, mainly for patients who have just undergone chemotherapy or radiotherapy. If patients with rectal cancer undergo corresponding treatment, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so you can use Chinese herbal enema to relieve symptoms at this time. Moreover, patients will have some toxic side effects due to treatment, which will be more obvious, and enema can also reduce these reactions.
4, Acupuncture treatment
Acupuncture treatment is also a common treatment method in Chinese medicine, mainly through the stimulation of acupuncture points and meridians to achieve the purpose of adjustment. When patients undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy, endocrine disorders or dysfunctions often occur, and acupuncture can be used to effectively relieve such problems.
5, Moxibustion treatment
Moxibustion treatment is a common supplementary treatment for tumor patients because it can effectively adjust the local problems of patients and help patients improve their body resistance with long-term moxibustion treatment. Cancer patients with low immunity can better control the disease if they can improve their body resistance.
When cancer patients are undergoing treatment, they can choose Chinese medicine as an adjunctive treatment. Chinese medicine adjunctive treatment can not only solve the adverse symptoms brought about by the treatment, but also help patients consolidate their physical state and avoid aggravation of the disease.
