FOR LUNG CANCER AND INFLUENZA, CHINESE HERBS HOLD SOME PROMISE

Researchers believe that some Chinese herbs, including 

JHQG, BFXL, and BFHX, may offer significant benefits for 

patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), idiopathic 

pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and influenza.

In three separate studies, researchers analysed the health 

benefits of Chinese herbs on patients with NSCLC, IPF, and 

seasonal influenza.

They found that JHQG helped to prolong survival in patients 

with metastatic NSCLC compared with patients receiving 

standard care; was safe and effective in the management of 

IPF and could also help improve patients’ quality of life and 

activity capacity; and helped to reduce fever in patients with 

influenza compared with placebo.

These findings led them to conclude that Chinese herbs could 

be used as an alternative treatment for the aforementioned 

conditions.
