Natural remedies explored: Cancer

Cancer is one of the second largest dreaded diseases in the world. It refers to all tumors caused by the abnormal growth of body cells. It is derived from the Latin word “Carcinoma” which means crab.

Cancer can occur at any age group, irrespective of sex of the person affected. In men cancer is found in the lungs, intestines and prostrate glands. In women it mostly occurs in the gall bladder, breast tissues, uterus and thyroid.

The most common symptoms of cancer are change in bladder or bowel habits, a sore that does not heal thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere, unusual discharge or bleeding, difficulty in swallowing or indigestion and a persistent nagging cough or hoarseness. Other symptoms may include a change in skin color, unexpected loss of weight and changes in menstrual cycle, especially bleeding between periods.

The main cause of cancer is not known. However certain carcinogenous substances increase probability of getting the disease. Consumption of tobacco, betel leaf and slaked lime are linked with the cancer of mouth, tongue, lips and throat. Excessive alcohol consumption may cause stomach and liver cancers. Overexposure to industrial pollutants such as tar, nickel, asbestos, soot and high doses of X-rays can lead to skin cancers or leukemia. Meat may also lead to cancer as during digestion, it exhibits a carcinogenic by product, ammonia.
