The human body is made up of trillions of cells. These cells grow and divide to form new cells which replace older cells as they become damaged and die. When cancer develops in any part of the body, this process breaks down as cells start behaving abnormally. The older cells do not die, but the new cells continue forming, even though they are not needed, leading to growths called tumours. Tumours are generally of two types; benign tumours (or localised tumours) that develop slowly and can be usually removed without spreading, and malignant tumours that grow rapidly, spreading to various parts of the body quickly. Cancer can start in any part of the body. There are over 100 different known forms of cancer, the most common ones being lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and cervical cancer.
Can homeopathy cure cancer? This is a question often asked by patients and their families seeking safe treatment without any side-effects. The good news is that homeopathic treatment for cancer management is possible. However, the success of the treatment depends upon the type of cancer, as well as the stage and the general health of the patient. In general, homeopathic medicine for cancer treatment can help in the following aspects:
Pain Management:
Cancer in any form is associated with excruciating pain. However, conventional medication can alleviate the pain only to a certain extent, that too with several side effects. In such cases, homeopathic medicine can be useful in relieving the pain without any adverse impacts on the health of the patient.
Support Conventional Treatment:
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have severe side effects on patients including extreme nausea and balding. Homeopathic medicine is exceptionally effective in countering these side effects and improving the general health of the patients.
Reduce Stress and Anxiety:
Cancer patients often feel overwhelming fear and anxiety or suffer from depression, as well as mood swings due to conventional treatment. Homeopathy can help patients deal better with stress, anxiety, irritability, and mood swings, making it easier to cope up with the treatment and its side effects.
