Introduction to the causes of liver cancer based on TCM theory

The causes of almost all cancers, including liver cancer, are very complex, which has a lot to do with the fact that the early symptoms of these cancers are not obvious. Chinese medicine has a long history of treating liver cancer and has a complete set of theoretical basis for the causes of liver cancer .

1. Deficiency of vital energy: The Neijing states: "When vital energy is present inside, evil cannot enter." "Where evil gathers, the energy must be weak." This shows that the weakness of vital energy and the invasion of tumor evil are the central pathological link in the occurrence of cancer. Weak vital energy, coupled with external exposure to evil poisons, or drinking moldy food or contaminated drinking water, can damage the liver and spleen, leading to qi stagnation and blood stasis, which accumulate over time and form masses, and then become the cause of liver cancer.

2. Qi stagnation and blood stasis: emotional distress, liver qi stagnation, or invasion of external pathogens, qi stagnation, "Qi is the commander of blood", "when qi moves, blood moves", qi stagnation over a long period of time will inevitably lead to blood stasis and gradually form lumps, which is also one of the causes of liver cancer.

3. Yin deficiency of liver and kidney: Emotional disorders, liver depression transforming into fire, dampness and heat combining to damage the collaterals, body fluids overflowing and accumulating in the abdomen, or Yin fluids being burned and exhausted, liver Yin deficiency, which in turn affects the kidneys, poor qi transformation, retention of water and dampness, which accumulate in the abdomen, causing swelling and eventually forming tumors.

4. Accumulation of dampness and heat: Improper diet and excessive drinking will damage the spleen and stomach, or the liver qi will be rebellious and damage the spleen and stomach, or the spleen and stomach are weak and the transportation and transformation are not healthy, and the dampness accumulates and turns into heat, and the dampness and heat accumulate in the liver and gallbladder, gradually accumulating over time to form a lump.
