SAFE HERBAL SUPPORT FOR THOSE RECEIVING RADIATION OR CHEMOTHERAPY
Many people face the decision and challenge of receiving aggressive treatments for cancer. These treatments often severely compromise the person’s immune system. We will speak of medicinal mushrooms, herbs, foods, essential oils, flower essences and supplements that have been used by cancer patients, with excellent results, to safely build and support the immune system, along with body, mind and spirit during and after these medical treatments.
Nutrition, lifestyle, creating a support system, along with an understanding of each individual’s unique needs during and after cancer therapies will be presented from a community herbalist’s point of view and experience.
