herbal formula for the side effects of chemotherapy

[Guest guest]

Dagmar,

 

I have treated several such patients, and usually they need some blood

cooling and toxin-resolving. The formula you mentioned contains a lot of

tonics, and I have found that people have mouth sores, vaginal sores,

esophageal inflammation, etc. and that blood cooling herbs are helpful. Then

again, they may have none of these, and feel mostly fatigue and their blood

counts may be low for the next cycle. Then they do need blood tonics. Every

patient manifests different side effects depending on their original

condition. As always, you must look at the patient in front of you.

Hi group,

 

does anybody have any experience with treating the side effects of

chemotherapy with herbs?

(Considering of course the individual pattern of the patients...)

 

This is what the Guanganmen Hospital in Beijing uses as a standard formula

during and after chemotherapy:

Radix Codonospis (Dang Shen) 15g, Fructus Lycii (Gouqizi) 15g, Semen

Cuscutae (Tusizi) 15g, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (Nu Zhen Zi) 15g, Rhizoma

Atractylodis Marocephalae (Bai Zhu) 10g, Fructus Psoraleae (Buguzhi) 10g.

 

I would love to hear about anyone's experience!
