Not every lump is harmless.
Aggressive lymphomas — whether Non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin — can spread rapidly through the body’s lymphatic system, affecting immunity, energy, and overall strength.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the lymph system is closely related to the Spleen’s role in transporting fluids and the Liver’s role in maintaining smooth Qi flow.
When Qi stagnates and Damp-Heat toxins accumulate, swelling and lumps can appear. Over time, the body’s Qi and Blood may weaken, leading to:
- Persistent swelling in the neck, armpits, or groin
- Fever or night sweats
- Fatigue and weakness
- Unexplained weight loss
TCM treatment principles for aggressive lymphoma focus on:
- Strengthening Qi to support the body’s core energy
- Clearing Heat toxins to reduce inflammation and swelling
- Moving Blood to break stagnation and improve circulation
- Supporting overall balance so the immune system can function more effectively
Approaches may include acupuncture, tailored herbal formulas, and diet adjustments to nourish the body without burdening digestion.
Even in aggressive illness, TCM aims to provide comfort, restore some strength, and help the body fight while maintaining dignity and quality of life. So, if you’re experiencing the symptoms, please consult with a qualified TCM practitioner to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
