Naturopathic Oncology

Naturopathic oncology represents a holistic and evidence-informed approach to supporting individuals during, before and after a cancer diagnosis. Naturopathic oncology works in conjunction with conventional medical treatments—such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery—it doesn’t seek to replace them. The fundamental aim is to integrate natural therapies to safely optimise your health and avoid interactions and contraindications between natural medicine and medical treatments.

 Our dedicated Healthcare Providers have received specialised training, allowing them to support your wellbeing throughout your journey.

Our dedicated Healthcare Providers focus on three main areas.

Firstly, they strive to optimise conventional treatment. They may use specific nutrients, botanicals, and lifestyle changes to help reduce the unpleasant side effects of standard treatments, such as managing chemotherapy-induced nausea, fatigue, or nerve pain, all while rigorously ensuring these natural interventions do not interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness.

Secondly, they focus on enhancing the person’s quality of life. This involves creating strategies to manage fatigue, sleep, pain or malaise, inflammation, immune system, digestion and absorption and vitality.  They also offer support for mental health, helping to address anxiety, depression, and cognitive issues (often called ‘chemobrain’) through a combination of mind-body techniques and supportive natural compounds.

Finally, they work on modulating the cancer microenvironment. The goal is to create an internal landscape that is less conducive to cancer cell growth. Personalised support typically involves dietary plans, anti-inflammatory and low-glycaemic foods to regulate blood sugar and reduce systemic inflammation. The overarching aim is to reduce risk of cancer recurrence.
