How to treat with Chinese medicine after chemotherapy

Combined with “the bone marrow is strong, and the Qi and Blood are all derived from it”, “the kidney is the master of the bone and produces the marrow”, “the kidney contains the essence, and the Blood is transformed by the essence”, “the middle jiao receives the Qi and extracts the juice, which changes and becomes red. It is called blood”, summarizing that the disease is located in the bone marrow and is closely related to the spleen and kidney. Especially the deficiency of spleen and kidney is the most critical. Qi deficiency and essence deficiency lead to blood deficiency, and Qi deficiency can also lead to blood stasis, causing many changes.
