With the increasing incidence of tumors in recent years and the development and integration of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, more and more tumor patients treated by surgical resection and radiotherapy are actively seeking treatment with Chinese medicine. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the pathogenesis of tumor is mainly due to deficiency of positive energy, stagnation of blood, phlegm and dampness, heat and toxicity, dysregulation of internal organs, and cancer toxicity, emphasizing that “if positive energy exists within, evil cannot dry up.” In the stage of fighting between good and evil, the supplementation of nutrients undoubtedly improves the body’s ability to resist diseases. Winter is the best season to take poultices. As a tonic-based dosage, poultices are mainly suitable for weak tumor patients and can be used in the whole process of tumor treatment. In the early stage, tumor patients are mainly manifesting evil and weakness of positive qi, so they can mainly attack the evil and undergo radiotherapy treatment, after which they can take poultices to alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy; in the middle and late stage, the deficiency of positive qi, the failure of qi, blood, yin and yang, patients show obvious symptoms such as tiredness and fatigue, insomnia and palpitations, and lack of desire to eat, so they should take poultices with strong nourishing power to support the positive and consolidate the root and regulate qi, blood, yin and yang. Surgical treatment will also damage the vital energy, so taking poultices is beneficial to the recovery of body functions. Poultice, also known as cream, is one of the eight types of pills, pans, creams, pans, wine, dew, soup and ingots in Chinese medicine. It is a preparation made on the basis of a large compound soup, with different prescriptions established according to different physiques and diseases of people, and then made by adding certain auxiliary ingredients, such as rock sugar, or honey and gum, to collect the paste after thick decoction. Qin Bowei, a famous doctor in modern times, pointed out in “The Complete Book of Ointment”: “Ointment is a decoction of medicinal juice into fatty liquid, and so nourish the dry and weak of the five organs and six bowels, so it is commonly known as ointment medicine”. Compared with other dosage forms, cream formula is concentrated from decocted medicine, which has the characteristics of high active ingredients, long-lasting effect, easy to take and can be taken for a long time; low toxicity, low reaction, small dosage, high bioavailability; tonic in treatment, treatment in tonic, combination of tonic and treatment. Post-operative tumor patients need ointment to supplement qi and blood because surgery depletes qi and blood, blood is the mother of qi, qi is the handsome of blood, qi is lost with blood, resulting in deficiency of both qi and blood. At this time, we should focus on nourishing qi and blood, and take Bajhen Tang or Ten Perfect Tonic Tang as the representative formula with reduction to make a poultice. In case of abdominal distension, dullness, constipation and other symptoms of spleen and stomach disharmony after surgery, it is advisable to use the method of strengthening the spleen and stomach, and the formula should be selected from Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi or Ginseng and Bai Zhu San to regulate the stomach and intestines, to strengthen the spleen and stomach and promote the recovery of the body after surgery. Post-operative tumor patients can use poultices not only to nourish qi and blood, regulate the spleen and stomach, but also to take into account the “residual toxicity” and achieve the purpose of restoring the patient’s constitution and clearing the remaining cancer toxicity in the body. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, cancer patients often experience weakness, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms; it also causes inhibition of hematopoietic system, inflammatory reaction, etc. During or after radiotherapy, they experience general weakness, sleepiness of limbs, soreness of waist and knees, mental weakness, panic and shortness of breath, insomnia and dreaminess. The treatment should be to benefit the qi and strengthen the spleen, nourish the heart and nourish the kidneys, and replenish the qi and blood. The efficacy of TCM cream formula can not only reduce the adverse reactions of radiotherapy patients and complete radiotherapy successfully, but also regulate the physical quality of patients so that they have the opportunity to receive radiotherapy treatment; and it can also give full play to the anti-cancer effect with radiotherapy. Through the identification treatment of cream, it can relieve the related symptoms, improve the immunity, increase the patient’s compliance to treatment and prolong the patient’s survival. For early stage tumor patients, surgery is the main treatment option, but most patients do not need radiotherapy or chemotherapy after surgery, so patients are often afraid of tumor recurrence and metastasis, or some patients with stable condition who are treated with TCM and do not need short time to adjust prescriptions. Ointment prescription is often a good choice to regulate yin and yang, improve the internal environment of the body, unblock the internal organs, restore the imbalance of the body’s ability to resist disease, and enhance the body’s ability to resist disease. By taking the cream formula, patients can achieve the effect of nourishing qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and kidney, eliminating patients’ fear, enhancing immunity, restoring physical strength and prolonging the survival period. Although poultices are good, not every tumor patient is suitable for taking poultices. Some patients whose condition has deteriorated significantly, such as jaundice, vomiting, abdominal distension and thick tongue coating, are not suitable to take it. It is recommended that tumor patients should go to a regular hospital for physical identification by a professional physician before choosing the treatment of poultice.
