Chemotherapy is an indispensable treatment for cancer patients, but in the process of chemotherapy, patients are prone to side effects such as decreased resistance, decreased white blood cell count, nausea and vomiting, general weakness and alopecia. Patients with these side effects need not worry too much. Usually, they can be treated by diet relief. Chinese medicine recommends the following supplements that can be eaten during chemotherapy:
1, Compound Astragalus Porridge:
The required materials mainly include raw Radix Astragali, Semen Phaseoli, Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli, glutinous rice, raw Coicis Semen, and kumquat cake. When making, raw astragalus, raw coix seed, red bean and glutinous rice need to be washed separately, and endothelium corneum Gigeriae Galli needs to be ground into fine powder for later use. Next, put raw Radix Astragali into a casserole, add water and simmer for about 20 minutes, take the juice, add Coicis Semen, Semen Phaseoli and other materials and continue to cook for half an hour. Finally, add minced chicken gizzard-membrane and glutinous rice, stir well and cook into porridge. Chewing 1 kumquat cake after porridge twice a day in the morning and evening can relieve symptoms such as stomach qi damage, anorexia and weak qi during chemotherapy.
2, ginseng yam stewed pigeon:

Put all the ingredients together in a saucepan with appropriate amount of water, stew for 2 hours, and then season with salt. For patients during chemotherapy, this tonic can play a very good role in tonifying deficiency and blood.
