Naturopathic oncology is a natural approach to cancer care that supports people during and after treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. It doesn't replace regular cancer treatment but works alongside it to help the body cope better. This method focuses on using safe, natural tools like plant-based medicine, healthy nutrition, gentle detox, and stress-reducing practices to reduce side effects, boost energy, and support the immune system.
At the Naturopathy and Natural Therapies World Conference, many sessions focused on how naturopathic care can support people going through cancer treatment. Presenters will share ways that natural therapies—like herbal medicine, nutrition, gentle movement, and stress-reducing practices can help ease side effects and improve how patients feel during and after treatment.
