Incorporating plants with anti-inflammatory properties into your diet can reduce your risk of cancer. They naturally prevent cancer by counteracting the network of blood fibers that feed the cancer cells. In modern medicine, herbs are also often used as an adjunct to conventional cancer therapies. They reduce side effects, for example by reducing fatigue and improving your well-being. In addition, some plant extracts have a proven effect against cancer. These extracts are also used in chemotherapy drugs. However, there are no reliable scientific studies proving that these medicinal herbs can cure or treat cancer on their own.
