It has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and removing fire, and quickly reducing swelling. Can Ishigaki cure tumors?

There is a beautiful story about the name of Ishimchuan: It is said that an old man who was digging herbs in Jingkuan Mountain sat on a large bluestone slab in the woods to rest. The old man found that there were many pits and stars on the stone. Looking up, he saw a small grass growing around the stone with lush branches and leaves. He thought that it was because the precipitation on the green grass dripped onto the stone on rainy days, and it was formed over a long period of time. Therefore, he picked green grass and treated the upright people. After many observations, the old people who dug herbs found that this kind of grass is very effective in treating abdominal distension and edema, so they named it "Shi Jianchuan", which means that after taking the medicine, it has a unique effect like "dripping water wears away stone".

The concept of Shijianchuan first originated from Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, and has been recorded and explained by Chinese medicine practitioners of all generations. The use of Lithospermum officinale as a medicine is very common in clinical medicine: various acute and chronic hepatitis, mastitis, herpes zoster, scrofula and other symptoms can be treated with Lithospermum officinale. In addition, soaking the underground stems of the Lithospermum officinale in wine can regulate menstruation, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and treat gynecological dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, surgical injuries and other diseases.

Lithospermum officinale has anti-tumor specificity and is a common anti-tumor Chinese herbal medicine in clinical medicine. It is generally rarely used alone, and is often used in combination with other anti-tumor Chinese herbal medicines to treat various cancers. For example, it is used in combination with Hedyotis diffusa and Scutellaria barbata to treat lung cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer and other cancers. The clinical medical method is to take the decoction orally, 6-15g; or to squeeze the juice, mash it and apply it externally as appropriate.

Modern pharmacological research shows that the ingredients in Lithospermum officinale are quite complex, including sugars, sterols, polyphenols and other compounds, among which the sugar component is the key part of its anti-tumor effect.
