Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical effect of umbilical paste and salt-separated moxibustion on the adverse reactions of digestive tract in the patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL). Methods: Totally 60 patients with NHL were divided into two groups according to the order of admission. The control group was treated with the conventional nursing, and the observation group was treated with umbilical paste and salt-separated moxibustion. The preventive effect on constipation, nausea, vomiting and loss of appe-tite were compared between the groups. Results: The incidence of constipation, nausea, vomiting and anorexia on the 3nd and 5th day after the chemotherapy was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0. 05). Conclusion: The preventive effects of umbili-cal paste combined with umbilical and salt-separated moxibustion on the gastrointestinal adverse reactions after chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are better than those of the routine nursing, and the method is simple and easy to implement and popularize.
