There is no such thing as the best prescription of Chinese medicine for lung cancer. Lung cancer treatment needs to recognize and differentiate types, and at present, it is often classified into qi and blood stasis, phlegm and dampness in lungs, and qi and yin deficiency (deficiency of both qi and yin) and other types of certificates.
1. Qi and blood stasis: manifested as stuffy chest, chest pain in a fixed place, like a cone or a thorn, poor cough, or sputum and blood with dark red color, purple lips. The treatment is to activate blood circulation and dissipate stasis (to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis in the body), move qi and eliminate stagnation, and use Blood Palace and Blood Stasis Tang. It is not recommended for pregnant women.
2. Phlegm-dampness in the lungs: cough, thick and sticky phlegm, white or yellowish-white phlegm, chest tightness and chest pain, dullness (lack of appetite, reduced food intake), loose stools (thin and unformed feces), fatigue (mental exhaustion, physical weakness). Treatment should be directed at moving Qi, dispelling phlegm, strengthening the spleen and drying dampness (strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness), and using Er Chen Tang with additional subtractions. This formula should not be used if there is vomiting of blood, thirst, Yin deficiency or Blood deficiency.
3. Deficiency of qi and yin: common symptoms include weak cough, shortness of breath, shortness of breath (wheezing), fatigue, cough with little sputum or sputum that is sparse and sticky, whitish color (white and lack of luster), spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the daytime, aggravated by sweating with a little movement) or night sweating. Sheng Vein Drink and Lily Solid Gold Soup may be used. Contraindications are unclear.
Chinese medicines or proprietary Chinese medicines should be used under the guidance of a TCM doctor and should not be used blindly by individuals to avoid adverse effects.
