Breast Cancer Side Effects
Patient – Breast Cancer: My mother (63) was
diagnosed with breast cancer seven months ago. Since then, she has
undergone eight sessions of chemotherapy and is currently on Herceptine
that is administered every third week. She also suffers from rheumatoid
arthritis for the last few years. She has a severe case of dry mouth –
that is, her salivary glands are not working properly. This problem has
further worsened with chemotherapy. Because of the dryness, she develops
mouth sores very frequently, resulting in her not being able to eat
properly and her tongue becoming sensitive to spicy, salty as well as
acidic food. Please suggest some remedy. Is this curable?
Suggested Solutions:
Chemotherapy often leads to reduced immunity of the person and hence many symptoms come up like dry mouth and mouth sores.
Ayurveda
Thaleesepatvadi Choornam – ½ tsp powder + 1 tsp honey 3 times a day will be helpful to improve function of salivary glands and digestion. Boil 5 gm Yashtimadha powder (Glyceerrizaglabra) in 2 glasses water for 2-5 mins, filter and cool it. Add 2 tsp of honey to it. Take mouthful of this liquid and hold it for 1or 2 mins and spit it out. Do this twice a day.
Homeopathy
Merc sol 200 3 pills 4 times a day can help in healing the mouth sores. Ars alb 30 3 pills 4 times can be used for detoxing the body. The other medicines that are helpful in combating bad effects of chemotherapy are Nux vom 200 and Aloes 200.
