Holistic Health Care Tips for Breast Cancer Patients

Tuesday, May 18, 2010 |

breast cancer preventionThe whole world comes to a standstill when someone comes to know that or she has breast cancer. Though there are many treatment procedures for the killer disease today, it becomes almost obvious that the doomsday is near. Leave alone the tremendous pain one has to bear with, the very fear of death makes living life an uphill task.


Adding complementary therapies in the form of lifestyle changes and alternative medicines to your treatment plan can help you feel better and improve your prognosis. Oncologists are of the view that when it comes to breast cancer, conventional treatment procedures like surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiation are unavoidable. But adopting a few holistic health strategies offer effective healing benefits. Here are some health care tips that make living with breast cancer a bit easier:

Acupuncture: Stimulation of certain points on body activates key portions of the nervous system, resulting in the release of body's own pain-killers and a boost to immune system.

Dietary supplements: Apart from vitamins, minerals, and herbs, taking antioxidant supplements like turmeric help to negate the side-effects of chemotherapy. Other dietary supplements that show promise to breast cancer patients include curcumin, vitamin D3, and Maitake mushrooms.

Eat anti-inflammatory foods: Anti-inflammatory foods stop metastasis or spreading of cancer. Same is true for breast cancer. Eat more of salmon, walnuts, pumpkin seeds to prevent breast cancer.

Follow a detox-diet: Adding dark leafy green vegetables to the diet keeps kidneys and liver, the two major organs of human body, working properly so they can eliminate the harmful remains of chemotherapy drugs after they’ve done their job.

Stick to organic diet: Pesticides used during farming of non-organic crops are “xenoestrogens,” which stimulate the development of hormone-dependent tumors. So, it is always advisable to go the organic way, and start eating pesticide-free food. Regular exercise: There is no alternative to regular exercise. Sticking to a daily work-out schedule keeps immune system working in proper condition and detoxify at regular intervals.

Friday, March 5, 2010 |

Growing old is inevitable, but it is saddest when the sign of aging appears on your face and body. Wrinkle, shagging skin, fine lines become so apparent that you start feeling old. But spending a few minutes a day reverses the clock of aging.

Old maxim “You’re only as old as you feel” avows that age is nothing but all in your mind.  If you feel younger than you are. You might have seen some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty. The reason behind this is they pay a bit attention towards their lifestyle, eating and drinking regiment.

It is always advisable to use a strong sunblock every day, eat lots of vitamin C–rich citrus (the vitamin helps prevent collagen loss), and apply cream with a retinol or retinoid (a vitamin A derivative) every night to promote skin-cell growth. These things seem so negligible that people avoid or bypass it.

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 |



Generally gold is used to prepare jewelry or ornament, but it is the first time its use for brightening & lightening the skin as well as treating the dull and dead skin has been introduced by a Japanese beauty company. Gold facial is a new way of skin treatment by using a sheet of pure gold. The company claims that gold can lift and firm skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lighten and brighten skin.



KINPAK facial mask treatment varies from ordinary gold foil because it uses a special technique to integrate traditional Japanese paper with gold foil. As a result, unlike traditional gold foil, KINPAK can be easily carried around without concerns about wind or breathing. To remove the gold foil, you massage the gold foil covered face with face lotion or other beauty serum, and then the gold foil breaks apart into fine pieces where it has been massaged. The 24-caret gold foil that is left behind on the skin gently reflects light, making the skin appear more refreshingly pure, and those that have undergone the gold foil treatment can expect their skin to maintain its clean, refreshed state.
