Using traditional medical methods to treat cancer has a unique role that is irreplaceable by modern medicine. For example, nausea and dry mouth caused by chemotherapy can be effectively treated with acupuncture, while advanced lung cancer can be effectively relieved by qigong and nourishing yin. Therefore, traditional medicine is expected to develop personalized treatment and rehabilitation plans for cancer patients so that patients can receive maximum treatment.

Doctors said that after surgery, the upper arm function of breast tumor patients will be greatly affected. Timely use of Qigong treatment is extremely beneficial to the lifting and stretching of the upper arm. The hospital has made Qigong treatment an integral part of routine treatment.
