Cancer is a dreaded disease for humans, and also for our pets. According to Mywellnesshouse.com, cancer is the No.1 killer of most domestic animals. Stomach cancer (Adenocarcinoma), however, accounts for fewer than 1 percent of pet cancers, according to Petcancercenter.org. While surgery is the most common treatment for pet stomach cancer, there are holistic, natural remedies available that can prevent, reduce and inhibit cancer cell growth.
Ashwagandha
The ashwagandha herb has anti-tumor properties. It helps nourish the blood and slow the development of cancerous tumors. This herb can also slow the spread of cancer to surrounding cells and assist with your pet's recovery after illness, according to Byvetsonly.com.
Astragalus
According to Animal-hospitals.abeautifulurn.com, astragalus is a "supportive" herb. It enhances the properties of herbs and medicines that your pet takes, thus increasing their effectiveness. Astragalus also promotes immune system health and function, and can suppress tumor growth.
Green Tea
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that stimulates and boosts the immune system. It is particularly effective in treating stomach and skin cancer, according to Naturaldoghealthremedies.com.
Omega 3
Omega 3 is a cold-water fish oil containing fatty acids. Fatty acids inhibit the growth and spread of tumors, as well as enhance your pet's appetite during its battle with cancer. A healthy appetite aids in your pet's survival.
Red Clover
Red clover contains vitamin B and C complex, as well as protein. This herb has tumor-inhibiting properties and strengthens the lymphatic system, which helps clean the blood and cell tissues. According to Natural-dog-health-remedies.com, red clover is considered "the" herb to combat cancer.
Reishi Mushrooms
Reishi mushrooms (Ling Chi) contain lectin protein, which attacks cancer cells and inhibits them from growing and multiplying. These mushrooms also boost the immune system to help your pet fight cancer.
