What is the TCM treatment for triple-negative breast cancer?

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments for triple-negative breast cancer include dredging the liver and promoting the flow of qi, resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis, clearing heat and removing toxins (removing heat, toxins and evil qi from the body), strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach (restoring the functions of the spleen and stomach), and other therapies. To clear the liver and mobilize qi: when the liver fails to dredge and excrete (the liver’s function of dredging and directing is abnormal) and qi is not smooth (the body’s gases do not run smoothly), cancerous toxins will be generated in the long run, and patients with this type of diagnosis can be treated with the addition and subtraction of Chai Hu Liver-Sparing Powder. Resolving phlegm and eliminating blood stasis: the combination of phlegm and blood stasis is the basis of tumor development. If triple-negative breast cancer is accompanied by symptoms such as tiredness of limbs, greasy tongue, moist pulse, tingling of dermatomes and ribs, purplish tongue, astringent pulse, etc., it can be treated with the treatment of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis (to promote the blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis in the body). Clearing heat and removing toxins: Some medical doctors believe that cancer toxins are the products of phlegm, stasis, dampness and heat. Triple-negative breast cancer can be treated with medicines to clear heat and remove toxins, such as half-stemmed lotus, white-flower snakeweed, dandelion, garcinia cambogia, santalum, dandelion, and so on. Strengthening the spleen and stomach: patients with spleen and stomach dysfunction and phlegm-dampness can use fried atractylodes macrocephala, fried Semen Coix lacryma, fried Chinese yam, Poria cocos, Chen Pi and other medicines to strengthen the spleen and stomach to carry out the treatment. Patients with triple-negative breast cancer should go to regular hospitals in time for treatment, and should not use medication on their own.
