Hepatic neoplasms are abnormal growths that occur in the liver. These growths can be benign or malignant, with liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma, being the most common type of malignant liver tumor.
Hepatic neoplasms can disrupt liver function and, depending on their nature, can spread to other parts of the body. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and management of these growths.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches hepatic neoplasms not as isolated occurrences but as signs of underlying imbalances within the body's system.
TCM practitioners look at liver tumors as manifestations of disruptions in the flow of Qi and Blood, influenced by factors such as emotional stress, environmental toxins, dietary habits, and inherited constitution. The principle is to restore harmony and balance, thereby addressing not just the tumors but the overall well-being of the individual.
