Herbal Medicines are the medicine that are made from the plants using the combinations of plant parts such as leaves and herbs as every part of the plant has different medicinal properties. The aim of herbal medicines is to help the body in the restoration process so that the body can regulate, protect and heal on its own. There are different types of herbal medicines for cancer such as Western, Chinese, Tibetan or Ayurvedic medicine.

The medicinal herbs are the well-recognized treatment medicines for cancer. The effectiveness of medicinal herbs has been proved by several clinical studies done on the cancer patients in regard to their survival, immune modulation and quality of life. A range of studies have proved the anticancer properties of several herbs.

Furthermore, herbal formulations like Cancertame are used in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for helping in improving the efficiency of the therapies, reducing the side-effects and other complications. The herbal medicines are either used for treating the cancer or reducing the toxicity caused due to the chemo or radiotherapy. The clinical studies have shown that the herbal medicines help in the suppression of tumour, increases the sensitivity of the chemo and radiotherapies, improving the immune system mechanisms and reducing the side effects of the cancer therapies. According to the studies herbal medicines have reported the reduction in side effects caused in and after chemo and radio therapy including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, loss of hair/taste/ smell, cardio toxicity, bone marrow suppression and other serious complications.
