Cachexia, also known as cancer, belongs to the category of deficiency labor in Chinese medicine. The causes of cancer are complicated, and qi stagnation and blood stasis is only one of the causes of cancer.
According to Chinese medicine, the basic pathological changes of cancer are internal deficiency of positive qi, stagnation of qi, blood stasis, phlegm, dampness, heat and toxin, etc., which are intertwined with each other and accumulate over a long period of time to form tangible lumps.
Malignant disease always belongs to the underlying deficiency. Cancer patients with cachexia are mostly in the state of survival with tumors, which are always caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm obstruction and toxicity aggregation.
Since the liver is the main regulator of excretion and relaxation of qi, the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the kidneys are the main sealing and hiding of true yin and yuanyang, the occurrence and development of cancer are closely related to the liver, the spleen and the kidneys.
If there is any discomfort, one should go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and be given a scientific diagnosis and treatment plan by the doctor, and should not take it lightly in order to avoid delaying the condition.
