Mesothelioma – Can You Heal It Naturally?

Mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer, which affects the membrane of many internal organs. It is needless to say that this is a severe disease which should not be ignored. But how can you cure it?

The most common way to fight this cancer is, indeed, by using the usual medical treatment for cancer, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. However, there are also other ways to help your body fight mesothelioma, such as traditional medicine and natural remedies.

Still, no one should ignore this serious health problem and rely only on remedies, without going to a doctor. The purpose of this article is not to discourage people from seeing their doctor or to make them refuse the medical treatment recommended by him/her, but to come up with several remedies that can help the body of a patient improve its functioning and boost the effect of common therapies. In many cases, these natural remedies proved to be a trustable ally when it comes to fighting mesothelioma.

• Astragalus

Commonly used in Chinese and Korean traditional medicine, this perennial plant is known for its properties of relieving physical, emotional, and mental stress. Astragalus has these attributes because it is an adaptogen. In China, the herb has been used for thousands of years in order to restore energy.

Of course, in times of such an intense stress, Astragalus helps your body and mind to rebalance, so that they can focus on fighting against cancer, not to stress out. In fact, a 2002 Chinese study has shown that combined with chemotherapy, this herb is extremely efficient, as it boosts the immunity and improves the healing capabilities of the body considerably. So, if your doctor prescribed you chemotherapy, try to consume Astragalus as well. You can go with Astragalus tea, powdered root, or a standardized extract.

• Celandine

Another plant you should consider when suffering from mesothelioma is celandine. This herb is well-known for its properties to strengthen the immunity, and it is often used in traditional medicine in the form of a tincture, extract, or tea. Moreover, the extract of celandine is also used in allopathic cancer drugs in several countries, like Ukraine. Why? By boosting the immune system, the plant actually helps the body fight against the cancerous cells. Another attribute of this herb is that it protects the healthy cells from the damage caused by radiation. Furthermore, the growth of tumors can be inhibited by celandine. This is why you should consume it, especially if you are under chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

• Mistletoe

Known as a semi-parasitic plant in nature, mistletoe is very often used in healing a wide array of ailments. However, even though people have used it in traditional medicine for centuries, since the 1920s, the herb has become famous for its efficacy in treating cancer, due to several medical studies. Research revealed that mistletoe not only inhibits the growth of cancerous cells, like many other natural remedies but it is so powerful that it kills cancer cells. In the laboratory tests which proved this, researchers used mistletoe extracts. It’s worth a try, isn’t it?
