Homeopathy is a therapy that uses medicines based on natural sources, such as minerals or plants, which are highly diluted, reducing the risk of toxicity or interaction with conventional medicine extremely unlikely.
Although homeopathy can be administered via different routes, from my experience, administering them intravenously using a special technique, its effectiveness is significantly higher in comparison to oral or topic administration.
How Can Homeopathy Help In Oncological Patients?
Although the pharmacokinetics of Homeopathy have not been clarified completely yet, its safety and effectiveness have been proven in many different studies. It seems that Homeopathic medicines work on an energetic level rather than on a chemical level, which means that it does not interfere with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy or hormone-therapy, but it can be taken alongside reducing their toxicity and increasing their tolerability. This in turn, can increase the patient’s adherence to conventional treatments.
Homeopathy is NOT a cure for cancer, and on no account should homeopathic medicine replace conventional treatment! Homeopathy can help reduce side effects such as nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, hair loss, diarrhoea, constipation, sleep disorders, pain, hot flushes, disorders in taste, lymphoedema or skin rash amongst many others.
Types Of Homeopathy And How It Can Support Patients
The homeopaths who follow a Hahnemanian approach (according to Samuel Hahnemann, the discoverer of Homeopathy) will try to find the best “simillimum” in order to ease the symptoms, and prescribe the homeopathic medicines in forms of oral drops, pills or creams.
Other homeopaths may follow a more pluralistic approach by prescribing more than one remedy at the same time and allowing the combination to work together. Often pre-prepared combinations of a variety of remedies in different potencies can help enormously. These preparations have shown to work extremely well when administered via subcutaneous injections in localised symptoms, or via the bloodstream (intravenously) in more generalised, systemic symptoms.
These combinations can also provide additional support to the organs that are working harder during conventional treatments such as the liver, kidneys, lymphatic or immune system.
Benefits Of Homeopathy In Cancer Care:
Homeopathy may help manage side effects of cancer treatments, such as:
Nausea and Vomiting: Common side effects of chemotherapy can sometimes be alleviated with homeopathic remedies that focus on improving digestion and soothing the stomach.
Fatigue: Many cancer patients experience extreme tiredness or lethargy, which homeopathic remedies may help address by boosting energy levels and promoting vitality.
Pain Relief: Certain homeopathic remedies may help manage mild to moderate pain associated with cancer or its treatments, helping improve comfort and quality of life.
Emotional and Mental Well-being: Cancer treatment can cause significant emotional stress, including anxiety, depression, and fear. Homeopathy may support emotional balance by offering remedies that are tailored to an individual’s specific emotional and psychological state, helping patients cope with the mental toll of their diagnosis and treatment.
Improving Recovery and Immune Function: Homeopathy may help stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal, supporting recovery after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Some homeopathic remedies are believed to strengthen the immune system, which may be compromised during cancer treatment, though this is still an area requiring more research.
Supporting Overall Wellness: Homeopathic treatments are often used to improve a patient’s overall well-being, helping to restore balance and promote a sense of health and harmony, especially when dealing with chronic illness.
In cancer care, homeopathy is typically not used as a primary treatment. Instead, it is considered a complementary or supportive therapy aimed at alleviating symptoms and enhancing overall well-being during conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. While some cancer patients may turn to homeopathic remedies to help manage side effects or improve their quality of life, it is important to emphasize that homeopathy should not replace established, evidence-based cancer treatments. Traditional therapies remain essential for addressing the cancer itself, and homeopathy can be used alongside these treatments to support the patient’s overall health and wellbeing.
