I. What is the idea of health maintenance in Chinese medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to the way of health care and the maintenance of righteousness, that is, “righteousness exists within, the evil can not be dry”. Chinese medicine health emphasizes the correspondence between man and nature, that is, we should follow nature, according to the laws of nature’s growth and demise to maintain their own, follow nature while adjusting their own internal balance to maintain health. For example, if the weather is hot, we should be hot, and if the weather is cold, we should be cold. If you want their internal balance, health when the body is at least comfortable, not irritated, mood is calm, on fire when the fire is clear, cold when full of warmth, this is a more common understanding. It is also a specific manifestation of the correspondence between heaven and man. Second, why does Chinese medicine emphasize winter tonic? Chinese medicine believes that: “everything is born in spring, long in summer, harvested in the fall, hidden in winter, people should be.” Winter is the season of “closed”. Due to the latent yang, yin, all living things closed, the body’s metabolism is slow, physiological functions are inhibited, reduce the state, at this time, if you use drugs on the human body tonic words, drugs tend to have a complementary role in pushing the wave by wave of the trend, can promote the body’s functional activities, enhance the vitality of the internal organs. Winter March is a hidden season, everything with the same people, all need to accumulate power to wait for the coming year better outbreak. According to the viewpoint of “winter solstice and sunrise” in Chinese medicine, “winter solstice” is the demarcation line of climate change in winter and March, thus, yin qi begins to retreat and yang qi gradually returns, and at this time, tonic can help to consolidate and cultivate the vitality, so that it can contain lively vitality in the closure of the hide. Can tumor patients take tonic in winter? As to whether it is suitable for tumor patients to take tonic in winter, I think, depending on the patient’s physical weakness, the years of suffering from tumor and metastatic recurrence (whether the tumor cells are in the growth period or in the quiescent period), the seasons and festive seasons of the year, as well as their own evils and poisons, such as phlegm-dampness, stagnation and obstruction, heat and cold and dampness, and then combining with dialectic of traditional Chinese medicine, a decision can be made. Specifically ① cancer is a chronic disease, long term disease will have deficiency, and the principle is to make up for the deficiency. However, if there is solid in the deficiency (the tumor is too abundant), if the deficiency is not supplemented (the function of spleen and stomach is too weak), or after radiotherapy, radiotherapy will cause the heat toxicity to be too abundant, and it is necessary to nourish the yin and quench the fire, and chemotherapy will cause the dampness to be inwardly attached to the tumor, and it is necessary to divide the San Jiao into three parts to make up the deficiency, and it is not possible to supplement it according to the deficiency. ② Years of illness, Western medicine talks about five-year survival rate of tumor, I talk about the recovery of tumor, generally speaking, the cancer cells will be quiet and obedient during the recovery period, the cancer cells are very active and restless in the first year after surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, and excessive application of food and medicine to promote the metabolism of the cells (part of the tonic medicine) will obviously promote the growth of cancer cells, resulting in relapse and metastasis, so it is necessary to be prudent. In the second year, I still do not recommend taking tonic medicine, which will promote the metabolism of cancer cells. However, after three years, those with weak physique, those with low immunity and those who are old and weak should take moderate tonic according to their conditions. (3) In winter, the essence of human body is restrained, the cellular metabolism is in a low level, and the growth of cancer cells is in a slow or suspended state. At this time, moderate tonic and proper tonic can improve the overall physical condition of human body and less promote the growth of tumor cells. ④Evil poison is the direct cause of tumor, so in the discussion of winter tonic also have to mention the evil that should be said, should be said to be weak to make up for, the real diarrhea, false for the gas is weak, the real is poisonous and evil, there is evil when the first drive the evil, is weak and evil real when the attack and complement both, this Chinese medicine treatment principle can not be violated also. The principle of Chinese medicine should not be violated. In winter, one should take tonic, and those who are full of evil and poisonous must first get rid of the evil, and then take tonic, which is the correct method. In a word, for those who have no signs of recurrence and metastasis for more than 5 years after tumor surgery and have a weak constitution, they can definitely take tonic; for those whose condition is unstable and there is recurrence and metastasis, it is not recommended to take tonic. Moreover, if patients want to take tonic, they should go to a formal medical institution like Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and find a professional doctor to take tonic. Don’t be whimsical and make up by yourself. Is it possible for tumor patients to eat poultice? Ointment formula, also known as cream, is one of the traditional nourishing, disease eliminating and life-prolonging preparations in China. Cream formula has a long history, and it can be said that it is a good formula, such as Snow Pear Cream, Pei Pa Koa Cream, Two Yi Cream, Mealybug Cream, etc., which has the characteristics of replenishing the deficiency and supporting the weakness, and treating the disease and treating it with replenishment. Because it is easy to take, has a good treatment, tonic effect, get a lot of people’s favor. Cream has the effect of tonifying the deficiency and supporting the weakness, resisting decline and prolonging life, and correcting the state of subhealth. Where insufficient qi and blood, the loss of five organs, physical weakness or due to surgery, post-partum, and major diseases, serious illnesses, chronic wasting disease recovery period of a variety of symptoms of weakness, can be winter seasonal tonic poultice, can effectively promote the weakness of the recovery of health, enhance the quality of health, improve the quality of life. Elderly people, blood decline, lack of energy, low visceral function, can be in the winter tonic cream medicine, in order to fight decline and prolong life. Middle-aged people, due to the function of the body organs with age and gradually decline, dizziness, waist pain and leg weakness, fatigue, palpitations and insomnia, memory loss, etc., tonic poultices can enhance physical fitness, to prevent premature aging. Working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, many young people due to energy overdraft, dizziness and waist pain, fatigue, early gray hair and other sub-healthy state, the cream can make them return to normal. For cancer patients in recovery period and patients with low immunity who are prone to repeated colds, taking Fu Zheng Cream in winter season not only improves immune function, but also stores rich nutrients in the body, which helps to prevent recurrence, anti-metastasis, anti-cold and strengthen resistance in the coming year. Cancer patients with stable condition after surgery or radiotherapy, especially those with weaker physique after surgery, are very suitable for poultice regulation. Some patients are worried that cream formula with nourishing effect will stimulate the growth of cancer cells. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Because the generation and development of cancer are related to the low immune function of human body, Chinese medicine treats tumor and pays much attention to the method of supporting correctness, i.e., according to the different kinds of diseases, different stages of diseases and different symptoms of the tumor patients, it can regulate them. On the basis of diagnosis and evidence, Chinese medicines are added moderately to control the lesions, improve the quality of life and prolong the survival period. By the same token, tumor patients taking Chinese herbal medicines should be adjusted according to the different conditions of each patient, so as to regulate the immunity of the body and improve the anti-cancer function of the body. Of course, taking poultice for tumor patients is also different from other people who take winter tonic due to their weak physique, because tumor patients still have different degrees of “evil poison” in their bodies, so they should also add heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese medicines moderately. Of course, not every tumor patient can take cream. Some patients with obvious deterioration, such as jaundice, vomiting, abdominal distension and thick and greasy tongue, should not take it. What should tumor patients pay attention to when taking tonic formula? 1) Abstain from indiscriminate supplementation First of all, one should know whether he should supplement or not, what kind of constitution he belongs to, and what organs and bowels are weak. Generally speaking, middle-aged people should mainly tonify spleen and stomach, and the elderly should mainly tonify kidney qi. But specific to the individual, there are gas deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi, blood, yin and yang total deficiency, etc. Different, to be carefully analyzed against the contents of the relevant books and magazines, it is best to ask experienced Chinese medicine practitioners to guide, so as to have a target. 2) supplement and quit greasy For the body state is not very good, the spleen and stomach indigestion, the first thing is to restore the function of the spleen and stomach, only the spleen and stomach digestion and absorption function is good, in order to ensure the absorption of nutrients, winter tonic should not be too heavy in the nourishing greasy thick flavor, it should be easy to digest as a guideline. 3) complementary and avoid bias Chinese medicine believes that the gas and blood, yin and yang, although they are two opposing aspects, but are complementary to each other. Therefore, there is “gas for the blood of the commander, blood for the mother of the gas, no yin is no yang to birth, no yang is no yin to turn” and so on. Winter tonic should also pay attention to the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang, not one-sided supplementation, to prevent over-biased instead of triggering other diseases. 4) quit supplementation in the cold, cough and other exogenous diseases, do not tonic, so as not to stay evil for silence, the consequences are endless. 5) Quit to the hero of the expensive for the tonic, do not hold the more expensive the better, the more expensive the more effective idea. Chinese medicine believes that the use of proper, rhubarb can be used as a tonic; serving inaccurate, ginseng is a poisonous turtledove. This point should also be taken as a lesson. 6) Quit only tonic and supplement For those who want to fitness and longevity, relying on tonic medicine is not a good way. Otherwise, the ancient emperors and generals should be a long life. We should also pay attention to proper exercise, dietary adjustments, more use of the brain (brain exercises), avoid evil on the quiet, etc., in order to achieve the true meaning of health. Sixth, do tumor patients need to avoid food for tonic? Diet is one of the important contents of tonic, we should not only pay attention to drug treatment, but also pay attention to diet regulation. On the question of whether tumor patients need to avoid eating, we should firstly know the concept of “hairy substance” in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine refers to ① food that can induce tumors and other diseases; ② food that aggravates the development of tumors and other diseases; ③ food that can promote the recurrence and metastasis of old diseases such as tumors and so on, which are collectively referred to as “hairy things”. In the past, folk believe that the “hairy things”, generally have the following categories: ① is easy to grow abscesses, swelling boils or cause some lesions of food, such as mutton, beef, rooster, goose, eggs, scaly fish or scaly fish, shrimp, crabs and so on. ② are foods that can cause old diseases to recur and new diseases to worsen, including fishy and stinky foods such as sea fish, mutton, dog meat, and so on. ③ Spicy foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, chili peppers, wine, pork and so on. ④ There is a special class of food, because of the elephant hair is also categorized as “hair” category, such as: mushrooms, bamboo shoots, lettuce, cauliflower, cabbage, radish and so on. Folk knowledge is not completely correct. The so-called “taboo” refers to try not to eat or eat less food to induce disease and aggravate the development of disease. However, it is not completely and absolutely forbidden to eat a certain kind of food, sometimes in order to regulate appetite or supplement nutrition, can also be occasionally eaten in small quantities. The scope of “hairy food” can not be expanded arbitrarily, and some even put cauliflower, radish, tea, beef, fish and other foods are categorized into the scope of “hairy food”, which may make the patients “open their mouths and be wrong! “At a loss”, the result is “choking on food”, resulting in malnutrition. Therefore, whether to avoid food needs to vary from person to person and from disease to disease, and to avoid food under the guidance of professional doctors. How to avoid dietary supplementation for tumor patients? 1.According to the diagnosis and treatment, certain foods should be avoided. Diagnosis and treatment is one of the major features of Chinese medicine treatment, and Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment should distinguish the strength and weakness of the disease such as yin and yang, surface and interior, deficiency and reality, cold and heat, qi and blood, etc.; the wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, etc., and the lightness of the disease; the function of internal organs and the disease site, etc., and other pathologic changes. According to these changes, certain foods are prohibited, such as cold evidence should not eat cold food, such as turtle, turtle, loach, crab, etc.; such as hot and humid evidence should not eat spicy hot food, such as chili peppers, green onions, ginger, leeks and so on. According to the different types of patients, different foods can also be used for treatment, such as ① qi and blood deficiency type, it is appropriate to take to support positive and solid food, you can choose: jujube, yam, turtle, kiwi, Coix lacryma, white lentils, Cordyceps sinensis, ginseng, ginseng, Astragalus membranaceus, wolfberries, mulberry, and so on. therapeutic formulas: Job’s tears porridge, duck turtle soup, Cordyceps braised duck, ginseng and jujube drink, etc.; ② spleen and stomach deficiency, you can choose: ginger, orange peel, bamboo, pomelo, jujube, yam, etc..

Physique refers to the health level of human body and its adaptability to the outside world, which is a relatively fixed individual characteristic of morphology, structure, function and activity formed by innate heredity and acquired later in life. Motherland medicine to the body’s understanding of the beginning of the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine in the “Spiritual Pivot? Yin and Yang twenty-five people sixty-four chapters” will be divided into wood, earth, fire, gold, water, five forms, corresponding to the five forms, and each form of the human body’s form, skin color, personality and the ability to adapt to the seasonal endowments such as a more detailed description. Each person can be based on the body of yin and yang deficiency, a reasonable diet, often eat with the body of the appropriate diet, adjust the imbalance of the body, enhance the body’s immune function, and gradually achieve the purpose of changing the body. For example, according to the difference of yin and yang, patients can be categorized into yin deficiency and yang deficiency. Yin deficiency quality: body thin or general, usually like to eat dry, thick flavor products, dry skin, dry mouth and nose, red lips, easy to fire, yellow urine, stools dry or normal, tongue thin, tongue red or tender or light or purple dark, less moss or flower peeling moss, cracked or although there is a greasy moss but lack of fluids, the pulse is thin or fine. This type of patient should be nourished. Choose the nature of flat, sweet and cold or sweet and cool moisturizing products. Such as duck, rabbit, turtle, pigeon, buffalo meat, lean meat, milk, eggs, soy products, mushrooms. Vegetables such as lotus root, eggplant, cabbage, green beans, loofah, bitter melon, cauliflower, bananas, pears, rock candy and so on. Avoid: spicy and dry, sizzling Bo thick flavor products, such as peach kernels, pepper, lychee, garlic, chili, yellow beef, mutton, dog meat, prawns and so on. Yang deficiency: body fat or general, and color white, cold limbs, cold, poor, easy to catch a cold, cough, urine clear long, stools are not solid or first hard after loose, tongue fat, tongue light or purple, moss white or greasy, pulse is slow, fine and weak. This type is suitable for warm tonic. Choose products that are flat, sweet and warm in nature. Such as chicken, yellow beef, mutton, sea cucumber, turtle, crucian carp, lean meat, eggs, milk, mushrooms. Vegetables and fruits such as millet, konjac, garlic, leeks, cinnamon, walnuts, cabbage, pumpkin, apples. Avoid: Cold or greasy products such as duck, turtle, rabbit, glutinous rice, honey, rock sugar, eggplant, pears and so on. Whether it is Yin deficiency quality or Yang deficiency quality, all see abdominal distension, thick and greasy tongue coating, are all wet, the treatment should be clear and complementary. It is advisable to eat light food, mainly fresh vegetables. Avoid eating sweet, sticky, greasy products, such as honey, sugar cane, peanuts, walnuts, chicken, duck, turtle, beef, mutton and so on. It can be combined with Chinese medicine that strengthens the spleen and dissolves food, aroma and dampness. After the tongue becomes thinner, dietary modifications of clear tonic or warm tonic can be carried out according to the constitution. There is flexibility in administering food according to constitution, and more than two kinds of anticancer food can be combined and cooked together according to patients’ dietary preferences, or several kinds of anticancer food with the same or different nature can be consumed at the same time, so as to adjust the bias of diet and eliminate or alleviate the unfavorable factors for patients through reasonable matching, and to play a comprehensive role of complementary or opposite complementary. 4. Avoid eating certain diets according to the needs of treatment Various kinds of tumors have different therapeutic purposes, and there are different steps in the treatment, so there are different requirements of food avoidance. For example, esophageal cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer should avoid spicy and hot food, coarse and dry food during radiotherapy; for example, raw and cold food, coarse and dry food, greasy and thick food, and food not easy to be digested should be avoided in chemotherapy, especially in chemotherapy using oxaliplatin, a large amount of raw vegetables, fruits and cold drinks (such as iced tea, soda, ice cream, etc.) and cold food (such as cold rice and cold food, etc.) should be avoided; for example, after surgery, most of the patients are suffering from vagusitis, which is the main cause for the cancer. After surgery, most patients are cut off the vagus nerve, and it is still difficult to recover the digestive function soon, and they have poor absorption of fats and oils, so they should be given diet with less oil and easy to be digested, and should have small amount of meals, and they should avoid eating wine, chili, pepper, leeks, onion, ginger, garlic and other spicy things, so as not to hurt yin and consume fluids; as well as patients with weak body and weak qi, ginseng is often used in traditional Chinese medicine, at this time, radish should be avoided because radish has the effect of breaking qi, thus decreasing the gas replenishing function of ginseng.
