Today there are many way of treatment to cure cancer in which people can choose to fight cancer. Most of these treatments have been used traditionally long time ago.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy utilizes essential oils and fragrant substances from a plant’s flowers, stalks, bar, roots, or leaves. These scents are released into the air, creating a calming environment to promote relaxation and relieve stress. Aromatherapy can be performed by a practitioner, but individuals may also use aromatherapy without a practitioner present. The fragrant oils are applied to the skin or added to bath water Aromatherapy is used to relieve stress but is also used to treat a variety of ailments, including infections, depression, insomnia, and high blood pressure. It is important for an individual to consult a doctor before determining the appropriate use for aromatherapy in an overall alternative cancer treatment or alternative treatment for another disease.
Acupuncture
This form of alternative cancer treatment derived from the Chinese and is one of the oldest therapies in the world. For the past 20 years, acupuncture has become more popular in the United States, and is being used alone or with conventional Western medicine as a way to control pain, reduce nausea, and help ailing patients who have chronic diseases. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into the body at certain depths in specific areas of the body. Generally, the procedure is not painful, although some people have reported feeling a deep aching sensation when the needle reaches the correct depth within the body. Acupuncture sessions usually last about 30 minutes, and generally, a patient will have up to 12 total sessions. Anyone who is considering acupuncture as an alternative cancer treatment should talk to their doctor to determine if this is the best option for treatment. A doctor may also be able to recommend a qualified acupuncture practitioner.
Massage therapy
In an effort to relieve muscle tension and stress, massage therapy is performed on an individual by a practitioner who kneads the body’s muscle and soft tissue. Massage has been shown to alleviate pain, increase circulation, and promote overall well being. This alternative cancer treatment can be used in addition to other alternative cancer treatment options. However, it is important to consult a doctor to help seek out a licensed massage therapist.
Ayurveda
Amla
Amla is an Ayurvedic superfood. It is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C and also contains quercetin, phyllaemblic compounds, gallic acid, tannins, flavonoids, pectin and various polyphenolic compounds, making it the king of rejuvenation. Scientific research of three decades has proven the traditional use of amla to be correct. Laboratory trials of amla extracts have shown its ability to kill and prevent growth of cancer cells while not harming the healthy cells.
Garlic
Garlic contains sulphur, arginine, flavonoids and selenium. The bio-active compounds of garlic are formed from allicin when the bulb is chopped or crushed. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), an ongoing multinational study across 10 countries has shown a positive co-relation between the consumption of garlic and onion and reduced risk of cancer. Studies from the US , China and France have all shown that consumption of garlic is associated with lowered risk of cancer. Garlic is a known anti-bacterial agent with the ability to stop the formation and activation of cancer causing agents. The World Health Organisation recommends at least 2-5 grams or one bulb of garlic daily for adults.
Turmeric
Haldi is one of the most researched herbs for its anti-cancer properties. It is attributed with anti-oxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic values. The principle component of turmeric is curcumin which is a potent antioxidant scavenging free radicals and inhibiting the growth of cancerous cells. Almost 2000 published scientific papers have shown that curcumin has the ability to kill cancer cells while not harming the healthy cells.
Ashwagandha
Also know as the Indian ginseng, it has been used to help the body deal with stress in Ayurveda. Its anti-cancer value was realized about 40 years ago when researchers isolated a crystalline steroidal compound (withaferin A) from this herb. Further research on these extracts which were taken from the leaf of ashwagandha showed that they were able to kill cancerous cells.
