Cancer Herbs

There are many claims that alternative treatments can improve and even cure certain cancers. Various herbs have been dubbed ‘cancer herbs’ as they’re believed to hold properties that provide defense and attack against cancer cells.

Although somewhat controversial in the West, in China and Japan there is common agreement amongst the medical profession that cancer herbs, used as complementary medicine with traditional treatment methods such as chemotherapy, can have a positive effect on not only life expectancy but also on survival rates of people suffering cancer.

Laboratory tests have shown the herb Coptis chinensis (Huang Lian) as having had an effect on various forms of cancer cells such as hepatoma, gastric, colon, and breast cancer. Artemisinin annua (Qing Hao), also named sweet wormwood, has also shown the ability to rid cancer cells under laboratory tests. Another herb called Oldenlandia (Bai Hua She She Cao) has been shown to fight against lung cancer growth in animal experiments. These cancer herbs are only a few of many that have shown real promise of beating cancer.

Some additional herbs known for their potent disease fighting properties are: Pau d’arco, Mistletoe, Dandelion Leaf, Rose Petal, Milfoil, Verbenia, Orange Peel, Hyssop, Red Raspberry Leaf, Angelica, Shavegrass, Ginseng, Star of Bethlehem, Sweet Violet, Cleavers, Red Clover, Burdock and many more.

You can buy cancer herbs mixed into formulas, teas and drinks but remember that these are not regulated so ensure you are purchasing from a reputable supplier.

Western medicine would do well to adopt a complementary medicine approach to take full advantage of what nature provides us to fight disease; using the knowledge from all points of the globe, there is hope that cancer can be beaten using cancer herbs and traditional medicine.
