Abstract:
This paper summarized professor WU Mianhua's experience in the treatment of tumors using Hehuanhua （Flos Albiziae）. He believes that the occurrence and development of tumors are closely related to emotions， and thereafter proposed the concept of "masses usually due to constraint， and should be treated by regulating the spirit".Hehuanhua is a light and aromatic flower that enters the heart， liver and spleen meridians， and is good at relieving constraint and regulating the spirit， harmonizing the center with aroma， which can be used to treat all kinds of tumor-related complications. Hehuanmi is flower buds， picked before the flowers fully blooms， have the effect of clearing and lightening upward， opening up the heart and mind， and unblocking liver qi. Commonly used formulas include self-made Ningxin Anmian Decoction （宁心安眠汤） to treat tumor-related insomnia， self-made Aitongxiao Formula （癌痛消方） to treat tumor-related pain， self-made Erhua Jieyu Formula （二花解郁方） to treat tumor-associated depression， and self-made Shugan Tiaohe Decoction （疏肝调和汤） to deal with peri-menopausal state after the treatment of tumors. Hehuanhua is an inflorescence， which captures the aromatic essence and has the function of removing the filth and turbidity， and can wake up the spleen and harmonize the stomach； therefore， it is often used in self-made Tiaomu Hezhong Decoction （调木和中汤） to treat chemotherapy-related digestive tract adverse reactions or combined with rose flowers to treat chemotherapy-induced oral ulcers.
