Herbs can serve you in many ways when you have cancer. They aid in healing from surgery. Before, during and after chemotherapy and radiation herbs help support the body. Some herbs help the body to rebuild the blood and immunity. Other herbs help with the nerve damage that sometimes happens through the course of these allopathic treatments.
Herbs also help to clear the toxins out of the body post treatment.
Herbs aid in alleviating nausea and getting the entire digestive system back in working order. Herbs are useful for other issues not cancer related that might be going on. As you know, having cancer does not preclude other ailments such as asthma, depression or fibroids to name only a few. Addressing other concerns as well can help in your overall sense of well being, especially if it is something like insomnia that interferes with your body's ability to heal itself. Herbs are also healing on an emotional and spiritual level.
