Let us start our blog with a simple disclaimer.

Disclaimer: There is no evidence at this time that naturopathy can treat cancer.

Naturopathy combines several different therapies, behaviour cum lifestyle change, and various naturopathic medicine as a whole system which works well as a complementary therapy.

But Naturopathy brings another valuable aspect on the table which needs education and awareness.

When a person is detected with cancer, an allopathic treatment will focus on surgically removing the part of the body infected with the disease and giving medication for after care with radiation or chemotherapy to not let the cancer cells spread. Along with this course of treatment, it is also about supporting immune function, getting infections out of the way, offering the body everything it needs to get back to homeostasis, have regular cell communication, have a disease-free equilibrium.

The body is always trying to fight itself, and naturopathy works around this fundamental principle. Hence, a naturopathy treatment plan for a cancer patient is prepared around right Nutrition, Acupuncture, Botanical medicines – they can collectively make a huge difference to a patient’s day to day operations and their day to day experience with cancer and recovery.

Patients, who take Naturopathy treatment do stay stronger for long and tolerate chemotherapy better. And, regardless of what some oncologists might say, there is evidence behind these therapies.

Benefits of these therapies may include but aren’t limited to:

• Reducing the side effects of chemotherapy
• Improving tolerance of chemotherapy
• Enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy
• Help recover from chemotherapy
• Mental healing 
• Increasing survival rates and reducing cancer recurrence
• Improving the quality of life by increasing energy, reducing pain and nausea, improving appetite, etc.
• Education and support for patients and their family

We recommend you to take advised Oncological treatment because that is an important part of cancer treatment. Alongside the chemotherapy and cancer surgeries, Naturopathy is the alternate natural course of healing solution for the scary C word.
