[Guest guest]

This is a more detailed article on using TCM to help with the side effects

of chemotherapy and radiation.

 

In the previous article we saw that TCM has 4 applications in complimentary

cancer therapy: To correct the original imbalance(s) which allowed the

cancer to develop, " to offset the damaging side-effects of radiation and

chemotherapy, " to help restore the immune system, and to reduce the tumor.

Sometimes these functions will overlap. For example if Qi Deficiency was an

original imbalance, astragalus not only is a Qi tonic, it helps the immune

system.

 

" Vacuity " is another way of saying " Deficiency " or " Emptiness " . " Liver

Depression " is another way of saying Liver Qi Stagnation.

 

Yin Deficiency (Vacuity) is one of the main things to watch out for as a

side effect of chemotherapy and radiation.
