Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for preventing breast cancer

Breast cancer is a relatively common type of cancer, and Chinese medicine is an indispensable method in cancer treatment. Therefore, there are many Chinese medicines for treatment, mainly Atractylodes macrocephala, Coix seed, Poria cocos, Adenophora acuta, Bupleurum chinense, Fritillaria thunbergii, Pangolin, Curcuma aromatica, Goat milk, and Camellia sinensis, which have anti-cancer and conditioning effects. In addition to these, some other Chinese medicines that are very effective in the treatment of breast cancer will be introduced in detail:

1. Narcissus root

Its efficacy is to clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and discharge pus, disperse nodules and fight cancer, and it is used for breast cancer and skin cancer. It is mainly due to the effects of lycorine, pseudolycorine, and narcissine in the root of narcissus. The root of narcissus is often ground into a paste and applied to the affected area, which is suitable for the initial stage of breast cancer.

2. Wolfsbane

Its efficacy is to reduce swelling, expel water and kill insects, and resist and inhibit cancer. Decoction of wolfsbane and red dates is a good dietary therapy. Currently, the volatile oil components of wolfsbane are extracted and made into injections to treat breast cancer.

3. Asparagus cochinchinensis

Asparagus cochinchinensis is an important anti-cancer ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. Its main effects are nourishing yin and moistening dryness, clearing the lungs and reducing fire, and anti-tumor. Its anti-cancer active ingredient is mainly asparagus polysaccharide. In traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, asparagus cochinchinensis, and three arrowheads are often boiled in water to treat breast cancer. Currently, asparagus tablets and asparagus injections are available on the market.

4. Fritillaria

It has the effects of dispersing nodules and reducing swelling, detoxifying and anti-cancer, and is mainly used to treat breast cancer, malignant lymphoma, thyroid cancer, etc. It can be ground for external application, decocted or made into pills for oral administration.

5. Trillium

Colchicine in Trillium gracile is an active anti-cancer substance. Its single prescription, compound prescription, pills, etc. have a good inhibitory effect on tumors, especially for the treatment of breast cancer.

6. Ginsenoside Rh2

It is the most active component in ginseng against cancer, and is also the ultimate secret of ginseng's life-saving legend recently discovered by scientists. Modern scientific research shows that the main effects of ginsenoside Rh2 are to inhibit the proliferation and spread of cancer cells, induce apoptosis and differentiation of cancer cells, reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells, and improve immunity. In the treatment of breast cancer, it has been found that it inhibits the growth of human breast cancer T47D cells and affects the expression of Caspase3. It also has a good inhibitory effect on the invasion and metastasis of human breast cancer MCF7/Adr cells, and also affects the expression of P-glycoprotein and matrix metalloproteinases and their inducers in drug-resistant breast cancer cells.

With the improvement of people's health awareness and the concern about alleviating the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Chinese medicine for breast cancer treatment will surely become one of the commonly used treatment methods in the field of anti-cancer. I hope that the Chinese medicines introduced above can be of some help to everyone.
