Application of Baihe Dihuang Decoction(百合地黄汤)and Its Analogues in Treatment of Tumors
The uncomfortable symptoms(such as depression,upset,fluctuating appetite,vomiting,bitter mouth,yellow urine and weakness)that often occur during tumor progression and chemotherapy,radiotherapy and surgery are similar to lilium dis-ease.Zhongjing's idea of combining disease and syndrome is also applicable in tumor treatment,for example,Baihe Dihuang De-coction(百合地黄汤)for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and radiation pneumonia,Baihe categorized formulae for the treatment of tumor related depression and anxiety,Baihe Zhimu Decoction(百合知母汤)for the treatment of breast cancer postoperative upset,sleeplessness and tumor bleeding,Baihe Huashi Powder(百合滑石散)for the treatment of rectal cancer postoperative depression and urinary burning,Baihe Huashi Daizhe Decoction(百合滑石代赭汤)for the treatment of gastric cancer.The combination of disease and syndrome with Baihe Dihuang Decoction as the main prescription should pay attention to the differentiation of syndrome types,grasp the main symptom and combine disease and syndrome when applied to tumor treat-ment.In addition,although other formulae of Baihe Dihuang Decoction[Baihe Gizi Decoction(百合鸡子汤),Baihe Washing Prescription(百合洗方),Gaulou Muli Powder(瓜蒌牡蛎散)]have not been reported in clinical literature,they can be added into clinical practice in the future to improve the quality of life of patients.
