March 24, 2024

In recent years, the incidence of cancer has remained high and has become the greatest threat to people's health. How can we reduce the incidence of cancer through prevention? Can traditional Chinese medicine use bamboo joints to prevent it?


Several Common Types of Cancer and Symptoms

1. Lung Cancer

Early-stage lung cancer does not have obvious symptoms. Typical manifestations include irritant cough, blood-streaked sputum, chest pain, and discomfort.

2. Breast Cancer

Breast cancer often presents as painless lumps in the breast, with a hard texture and poor mobility.

3. Stomach Cancer

The main clinical manifestations of stomach cancer are upper abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, bloating, black stools, and weight loss.

4. Liver Cancer

Half of the newly diagnosed liver cancer cases worldwide occur in China, which is closely related to the high incidence of hepatitis B in our country. Chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease can lead to liver cirrhosis and eventually develop into liver cancer.

Bamboo Joints: Not Just for Stopping Bleeding, But Also for Cancer Prevention

Bamboo joints have a good hemostatic effect and are effective when applied externally to wounds or taken internally.

Moreover, bamboo joints are alkaline foods and have a certain preventive effect on cancer.

The Wonders of Bamboo Joints

Bamboo joints can be used for induced abortion. The stems of bamboo joints are removed from the leaves, peeled, and then disinfected with 75% ethanol. They are placed in the cervix for 24 hours (disinfect the gauze and remove the medication). The dosage is based on the number of months of pregnancy, with each piece being approximately 5cm long.
