Release date: 2007-05-14 Green tea and ginseng may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, according to recent reports from the American Cancer Society. They suggest that cancer patients consider using natural remedies such as green tea, ginkgo biloba, and ginseng to support their treatment. Experts like Dr. Yang Guowang from Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital have highlighted that extracts from these plants, including Astragalus, green tea, ginkgo, and ginseng, are already being used in clinical settings. These ingredients are believed to play a supportive role in cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Astragalus, for example, contains essential trace elements like selenium, zinc, and iron. Selenium is known for its strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. It can also inhibit cancer cell growth without harming healthy cells. As a key herb in traditional Chinese medicine, Astragalus helps manage side effects like fatigue, loss of appetite, and bone marrow suppression caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It is commonly consumed by boiling it with other herbs like Codonopsis and angelica, or simply steeped in water. A daily dose of about 30 grams of Astragalus, brewed for an hour and taken on an empty stomach in 3–4 servings, is often recommended.
Green tea, rich in polyphenols, has been shown to help prevent gastric and other digestive tract cancers. These antioxidants promote the death of cancer cells, especially at higher concentrations. The typical daily intake is 3–6 grams of green tea, which can be consumed as a beverage.
Ginseng, particularly its active compound ginsenosides, is known for boosting immunity and aiding recovery in cancer patients. Research suggests that Rg3, a type of ginsenoside, can suppress tumor blood vessel formation. When combined with immune-enhancing TCM treatments, ginseng’s benefits may be even more pronounced. A daily dose of 3–6 grams is typically advised.
Ginkgo biloba, while less studied for direct anti-cancer effects, contains flavonoid glycosides that act as antioxidants, helping repair DNA damage and potentially lowering cancer risk. Ginkgo leaves are often processed into teas or supplements, though they are not as widely used in cancer care as the others mentioned.
It’s important to note that certain individuals, such as those with heat conditions or yin deficiency, should avoid ginseng.
