Was reading an article today which mentioned Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre site so thought I’d put the web address up again as many of us like to try complementary therapies. Thankyou to the people who told me about this site as I have found it both interesting and useful on several occasions but that said always check with your medical team as well. Here it is www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/patient-education/herbal-remedies-and-treatment It details how a complementary therapy works , what it’s benefits/side effects are and also what medicines they conflict with.Well worth a look.
