Oral mucositis is a common adverse reaction of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in cancer
patients, which reduces the quality of life of patients and affects the progress of cancer
treatment. Most of the patients with malignant tumor belong to the syndrome of deficiency
in root case and excess in manifestation. When undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy,
the patients’ ministerial fire becomes hyperactive, which may cause oral mucositis. With the
method of “conducting fire back to its origin”, ministerial fire can be led to vital gate, as well
as recovering its physiological functions. In the treatment of oral mucositis, instead of attacking
ministerial fire with too much heat-clearing herbs, we should, under the guidance of the theory
of “conducting fire back to its origin”, differentiate the syndrome, and then we can use the
methods of treatment of clearing and lowering heart fire, warmly invigorating spleen and
stomach, nourishing liver and kidney, or warmly invigorating vital gate, to conduct ministerial
fire back to vital gate. This article aims to provide theoretical reference for Traditional Chinese
Medicine treatment of radiotherapy or chemotherapy induced oral mucositis. |
