What does esophagus cancer Chinese medicine call

First of all, there is no disease name of esophageal cancer in ancient Chinese medicine books, but the "hiccup" described in ancient literature is very similar to esophageal cancer. There is a close relationship between the seven emotions and the abnormal emotion. In the treatise on the origin of various diseases, there is a discussion that "worry about Qi will lead to qi stagnation, qi stagnation will lead to no flow, causing choking, choking, blocking". Li zhongzi of Ming Dynasty put forward that "worry and anger will hurt the spleen and stomach, body fluid will be consumed gradually, stagnant Qi will produce phlegm, the phlegm will not be blocked, Qi will go up but not down, hinder the road, food and drink will be difficult to enter, choking will become a problem."

Second, phlegm and blood stasis, different causes of phlegm turbidity, blood stasis in the esophagus is one of the important reasons for the formation of hiccups. Xu Lingtai of Ming Dynasty believed that "the syndrome of hiccup must be blood stasis, stubborn phlegm and adverse Qi, blocking stomach qi"; Yang Suyuan of Qing Dynasty pointed out: "it is clear that the esophagus is obstructed by tangible things, rather than narrow for no reason"; Mingyi Zhizhang said: "diaphragmatic disease mostly starts from melancholy, melancholy is due to the accumulation of Qi in the chest and phlegm, long time is due to the lump of phlegm, glue in Shangjiao, narrow road, can not be smooth, drink can enter, Food is hard to get in, but disease has already become.

Thirdly, improper diet, TCM literature discusses the relationship between belching and bad eating habits. For example, Zhu Danxi thinks that "husband's Qi is a disease, or his diet is not sincere, which causes internal injury to seven emotions, or his eating is too thick, which helps Yang Qi and accumulates diaphragmatic heat"; Yu Chang points out in the law of medical school that "excessive drinking and rolling wine often leads to diaphragmatic syndrome, which is known to all"; while strict use of harmony in Song Dynasty thinks that "drinking is restrained, seven emotions are not injured, yin and yang are balanced, Qi flows through phlegm, and there is no reason for hiccups".

matters needing attention

The diet of patients with esophageal cancer should pay attention to light, but some patients like heavy taste, but it is too light, affecting the patient's appetite, so pay attention to the patient's personal appetizer food, as long as there is nutrition, eat what they like. If possible, stew more broth. Eggs, fish, shrimps, all kinds of meat, pig liver and other foods with high protein content are good nutrients. You can also supplement some milk powder, milk, soybean milk and so on. Vegetables help to supplement vitamins.
