A kind of ancient Chinese herbal ingredients claimed to be 1,800 years old can help accelerate the effects of cancer treatment and reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy.

Known as Huang Qin Tang (PHY-906), this herb popular among Chinese people as a mixture of plant extracts, roots and fruits are digunakkan to treat stomach upset and nausea for hundreds of years.

However, according to a study conducted by experts from Yale University, these ingredients have major effects in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, because it can increase the effectiveness of the treatment.

The strong effects of chemotherapy drugs often cause toxic effects that harm patients, especially in the organs of the digestive system. Drugs not only kill cancer cells, but also healthy cells around it.

In laboratory experiments using mice, herb PHY-906 was able to protect the intestinal lining of the intestine and helps recover faster. Also, it can reduce inflammation and improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy to kill tumor.

Huang Qin Tang mixture itself consists of four types of herbs that is – extract of peony, violet flowers berwara named skullcap, and liquorice fruit of the buckthorn tree.

In the study, this herb was applied to the rats who underwent chemotherapy. The mice suffered from rectal and colon cancer. Chemotherapy not only kills the cancer but the effects of damage to the lining of the intestine of rats.

After several days of treatment with PHY906, drug-drug chemotherapy only affects the lining of the damaged rat intestine. The mice are also not a lot of weight loss and cancer cells are dying too much.

“Chemotherapy causes stress for millions of patients, but PHY-906 has several biologically active compounds that can act to overcome the inconvenience,” said Professor Yung-Chi Cheng, an expert who publishes the findings published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

“The combination of chemotherapy and the use of herbal medicines represent a marriage of Western and Eastern medicine to treat cancer,” he added.

He also plans to complete this study and understand the usefulness of herbal medicines better. “By reviewing the medical history plainly, we look forward to finding out the drugs is better in the future,” said Professor Cheng.
