Abstract:
The theory of "origin essence-origin qi-origin spirit" is rooted in the theory of "essence-qi-spirit", which explains that origin essence, origin qi, origin spirit as the important material foundation, energy power and regulation center in the process of growth and development of the organism, are mutual and complementary to each other, and operate orderly under the guidance of the ministerial fire. Tumor is essentially an abnormal disorder of the growth and development process of the organism, and its occurrence and development are directly related to the mutation of origin essence and the alienation of ministerial fire, and closely related to the attenuation of origin qi, the departure of ministerial fire, and the inefficiency of origin spirit, and the delusional movement of ministerial fire. Based on the theory of "origin essence-origin qi-origin spirit", the tumor can be treated in the clinic by regulating the ministerial fire suppressing origin essence to inhibit the tumor development, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the qi to slow down the attenuation of origin qi, and nourishing the heart and cultivating the mind to stabilize the power of origin spirit in order to further improve the understanding of TCM on the etiology of tumors, and at the same time, to provide a new direction and ideas for the clinical treatment of tumors.
