Nutritional medicine and herbal medicine can support you after a diagnosis of cancer by:

• Reducing side-effects of surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation.

• Reducing harmful effects of cancer on the body, such as minimising weight-loss.

• Supporting your immune system during treatment and after, potentially minimising the likelihood of recurrence.

• Assisting the body to maintain strength and stamina during treatment and during recovery.

• Increasing appetite and improving digestion during treatment resulting in more energy.

• Suggesting dietary strategies that will help strengthen, balance and nourish the body and fight cancer.

• We provide individualised treatments for everyone, even specifically researching for each client as required, and monitoring side effects as treatment progresses.

​

Cancer patients who use herbal medicine, nutritional support and appropriate diet and lifestyle modifications during their treatment with chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation often report:

• More energy;

• Less nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, infections;

• Less treatment side effects;

• Improved sleep;

• Quicker recovery times from treatment;

• Higher quality of life and functional status;

• A greater sense of empowerment.

 

Post cancer treatment patients can also benefit from specific herbal medicines, nutritional support and diet and lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of recurrence of cancers and improve overall health and wellness.

​

If you have been recently diagnosed with cancer you may be facing an overwhelming array of suggestions or simply require support fully understanding the repercussions of both medical and naturopathic treatments.
