Important Information To Know About Liver Cancer

Alternative Treatments

In the medical field, there are not yet any naturopathic treatments approved for the treatment of liver cancer, but some complementary therapies might help patients undergoing conventional treatments for their liver cancer. Acupuncture has been shown to help with side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, associated with chemotherapy and similar cancer treatments. Milk thistle is a herb with a history linked to liver health and mistletoe has been used as an herbal remedy on many occasions as well. Of course, when looking at any alternative treatments, liver cancer patients should always discuss anything they might wish to try with their primary doctor before taking any action to reduce interactions and unwanted effects.
