Supplements and Botanicals

Any botanical or dietary supplement use should be discussed with your primary care or integrative medicine trained provider as these may interfere with cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiation therapy) or other medications you are on. Exploring the use of these with your provider is worthwhile. There are specific botanicals and supplements that can be used to help treat conditions or side effects such as fatigue, pain, nausea, or to boost the immune system.

Below are a few select dietary supplements and botanicals commonly used in an integrative approach to cancer. There are way too many products available to discuss any particular one in depth, or to capture all of them.
