In this day and age, there are many methods of cancer treatment, however, not all methods are safe or easy. More and more people are turning to alternative methods of treatment, including herbal treatments, as a means of self-healing. By utilizing herbs and other natural cures, an individual usually does far less damage to their body and typically has little to no side effects. Natural treatment methods, particularly herbal cures, usually make patients feel better overall.
Flax Seed
Flax seed oil and ground flax seeds can be added to just about any dish. Some believe that it can help you retain less water and lose weight.
Mix 2 to 5 tablespoons of flax seed oil and 1 to 3 tablespoons of flax seeds (ground) with cottage cheese and spices, such as cayenne pepper, garlic and red pepper (to taste). It is packed with healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help boost your immune system and contribute to healthy weight loss. Also, use flax seed oil to cook your favorite dish in instead of butter or margarine.
Lemongrass
Lemongrass tea is another alternative. Ben Gurion University of the Negev researchers made a discovery drinking eight glasses of lemongrass tea on the day of chemotherapy helpings fight cancer for good. You can grow lemongrass at home. In fact, it's almost like a weed. Once you grow it, you won't be able to get rid of it, and it will take over your garden. Steep 1 cup of fresh lemongrass in a kettle of water for approximately five minutes to prepare a tea. Strain the tea, or tie the lemongrass in cheesecloth. Drink it throughout the day.
Acai Berry
Acai Berry is another Amazon Rainforest secret. Growing in small bunches, much like grape bushes, but in the form of a giant palm tree, Acai Berry trees can be found throughout the rainforest. Eighty percent of the berry is a giant seed and so is the surrounding pulp where the juice and other foods are made. In Brazil, the pulp is used to make smoothies, mixed with granola and eaten for energy. Acai Berry is available in pill, juice or berry forms. If you live in the United States, your best bet is to buy it in juice form and mix approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons into your other fruit juice or your fruit or yogurt. It has a very distinct taste and it's not for everyone. Some describe it as a somewhat woody or forest-like taste. It's not as fruity or as sweet as some fruit juices. In addition to helping burn calories and build energy and muscle tone, Acai Berry helps to fight cancer and build a healthier immune system.
