Currently, many patients with malignant tumors have tried methods of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) regulation. What advantages does TCM have in dealing with malignant tumors?
TCM emphasizes a holistic perspective, believing that changes in a specific part of the body often reflect an imbalance of qi (气), blood (血), yin (阴), and yang (阳) throughout the body. Therefore, treatment should not only target local symptoms but should consider the overall balance and regulation of the body.
The core concept of TCM treatment is to apply treatment based on syndrome differentiation (辨证施治), which means creating personalized diagnostic and treatment plans according to the specific characteristics of the patient’s condition. Thus, in TCM treatment, the dosage and use of herbs are determined based on the patient’s specific condition and individual differences.
TCM practitioners use the four diagnostic methods: observation (望), listening (闻), inquiry (问), and palpation (切) to comprehensively understand each patient’s condition, including the cause, nature, and location of the illness, and then apply treatment based on syndrome differentiation.
This means that each patient’s treatment plan is unique, as TCM emphasizes individualization and is dedicated to tailoring the most suitable treatment plan for each patient.
In TCM’s pathological perspective, tumors are viewed as diseases of deficiency of the righteous qi (正气) and excess of pathogenic factors (邪气). Righteous qi represents the body’s normal physiological functions and disease resistance, while pathogenic factors include both external and internal evils. TCM treatment of tumors focuses on regulating the balance of qi, blood, yin, and yang in the patient, enhancing righteous qi, and eliminating pathogenic factors to achieve a treatment effect that balances the body and clears disease. This unique TCM treatment philosophy aims to adjust the internal environment of the body from the root, helping to restore health balance.
