Traditional Chinese medicine spray for treating radioactive xerostomia

Abstract

The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine spray for treating the radioactive xerostomia. The traditional Chinese medicine deems that radiation treatment rays are heat toxins and can cause the body fluid impairment due to the heat toxins and the yin fluid loss. Body fluid secretion promotion, dryness moistening, yin fluid nourishing, heat clearing, blood cooling and calming are preferred for treatment. Thus, traditional Chinese medicines such as longspurred fairybells rhizome, muscicolous woodbetony roots, tree clubmoss herb, semen hoveniae, divaricate carpesium, siberian meadow rue, polygonum perfoliatum, herb of half-capitate hemiboea, rhizome of perny false fairybells, all-grass of Taiwan microtis, all grass of Tibet thistle and lily flowers are selected and prepared into the spray in a preparation room of the hospital, clinical tests indicate that the static salivary total flow of patients with symptoms improved is obviously increased after treatment, and the treatment effect is significant.
