Recent studies show a growing interest in natural remedies for cancer management. At Liv Hospital, we see the power of certain herbs to help with cancer treatments. These natural compounds can help kill cancer cells and stop tumors from growing, giving hope in the fight against cancer.
We aim to give top-notch healthcare and support to our patients. We look into how herbal medicine can boost well-being during cancer treatment. Our goal is to find anti-cancer herbs backed by science that can add benefits to traditional treatments.
Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to fight cancer. Now, modern research is uncovering how they work. We’re seeing a big change in cancer treatment, focusing more on natural compounds in herbs.
Certain herbs target cancer cells in different ways. Some herbs have compounds that make cancer cells die, stopping tumors from growing. Others stop tumors from getting blood, which they need to grow.
Studies have found several ways herbal compounds fight cancer. These include:
