Hello everyone, I'm Liu Bochun, a Chinese medicine practitioner!
Cancer patients often have dampness in their bodies.
What is dampness? It is like mud, sticky and dirty, people are stuck in the mud and cannot extricate themselves, and their qi is not smooth, and over time they will produce all kinds of lumps and even form tumors.
So, how does the wet syndrome come about?
The first has a lot to do with eating habits.
For example, patients who drink alcohol for a long time will lead to spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness. In addition, there are some patients who prefer to eat some fatty and sweet foods before they suffer from cancer, and the body will have symptoms such as jaundice and diarrhea.
The second has to do with spleen deficiency.
If our spleen and stomach are weak and the movement is abnormal, the fluid will not run smoothly, and over time it will accumulate and become wet. Symptoms such as loose stools, loss of appetite, chest tightness, and dizziness may occur.
The third one has to do with climate.
For example, the climate in the south is humid, which will easily form external dampness, which can easily cause joint soreness, itchy skin and other problems. If the patient has a weak spleen, this is internal dampness, and if internal dampness is added to external dampness, then the situation is even more serious.
So, for cancer patients, how do we get rid of dampness?
In general, these 3 methods can be employed:
First of all, it is the warm yang wet method.
This method is more suitable for patients with yang deficiency. Because yang deficiency will give birth to internal cold, and internal cold will produce internal dampness, using the method of warming and yang method to dissolve dampness, it is like the sun, with the sun's irradiation, the water droplets will evaporate. Commonly used Chinese medicines include aconite, dried ginger, etc.
Secondly, it is the method of regulating qi and removing dampness.
For example, pancreatic cancer patients often have symptoms of abdominal distention, jaundice, and greasyness, which is an obvious situation of qi stagnation and dampness, and can be solved by regulating qi. You can use skullcap, coptis and dried ginger, one yin and one yang, one hard and one hard, one rise and one down, to dredge the ventilator together, dispel turbidity and dampness.
Finally, there is dietary regulation.
Eat less foods with high starch content, which is more likely to cause abdominal distension, which is not conducive to the transportation of qi, in addition, it is necessary to eat less sweets, which has the effect of humidification, especially for patients with obvious dampness syndrome in the body.
