What causes benign brain tumors and Chinese medicine?

 According to Chinese medicine, the development of benign brain tumors is believed to be influenced by various factors that disrupt the body's balance and energy flow. Here are some common factors and patterns associated with the development of benign brain tumors from a Chinese medicine perspective:

  1. Phlegm accumulation: Phlegm is considered a pathological substance that can accumulate in the body due to factors such as poor diet, improper digestion, and a sedentary lifestyle. Over time, the accumulation of phlegm can obstruct the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood in the body, potentially leading to the formation of tumors.


  2. Blood stasis: Stagnant blood refers to a condition where the circulation of blood becomes sluggish or obstructed. This can occur due to factors such as trauma, chronic illness, or prolonged emotional stress. Blood stasis is believed to contribute to the development of tumors, including benign brain tumors.


  3. Constitutional imbalances: Chinese medicine recognizes that each individual has a unique constitutional makeup that influences their susceptibility to certain health conditions. Constitutional imbalances, such as deficiencies or excesses in certain organ systems, can contribute to the development of benign brain tumors.


  4. External pathogenic factors: In Chinese medicine, external pathogenic factors such as environmental toxins, excessive exposure to damp or damp-heat conditions, and certain infectious diseases are considered potential factors that can contribute to the development of tumors.

To address benign brain tumors from a Chinese medicine perspective, the treatment approach aims to restore the body's balance, resolve phlegm, promote blood circulation, and strengthen the underlying organ systems. This is typically done through a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications, as mentioned in the previous response.
