Self-heal is a very versatile and safe herb that definitely deserves your attention. It’s one of the staples of traditional Chinese medicine and for a good reason. However, it doesn’t predominantly grow in Asia, chances are you could encounter this herb in Europe and North America as well. The flower spikes are mainly used to treat a variety of conditions in folk medicine.
Colon cancer or also known as colorectal cancer is one of the most efficient killers out there which is sad because it is quite possibly one of the easiest cancers to treat since most of what you consume goes through the intestines. That is also the reason why colon cancer is so prevalent. With all the mutagenic substances present in our daily diets, it’s a bit hard to avoid destroying our bodies with them.
Below you will find a list of herbs active against colon cancer, mostly these cell lines: HT-29, RKO, HCT-116, LoVo, CaCo-2, SW480, Colo-205, Col-2, CT26, SW-620, HCT-8, HCT-15, Colo 320, Col-26, NCT-116, SW680, LS-174, HCT-15, SW-621. As you can see, there is a huge amount of cell lines that are used for testing (more than 70 for sure), so you can always find more and look up the herbs that may be active against them. Some of these cell lines differ in what mutant genes they contain, so if you find herbs that are active against some and inactive against others, you can investigate them more (especially with relation to your condition).
Cervical cancer is a tricky cancer to treat as it’s closely related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is almost impossible to eradicate. There is still a shortage of herbs that are directly virucidal towards HPV, but at least there are some amazing herbs active against cervical cancer cell lines, whether they are HPV positive or negative.
Below you will find a list of herbs that have been found effective against cervical cancer cell lines, namely HeLa, CaSki, SiHa, C33A, SNU-17 and U14. Some of these are based on personal experience and while there may not be studies that are directly focused on cervical cancer, they contain compounds that are effective against other types of cancer.
Honeysuckle flower (Lonicera japonica, Flos Lonicerae Japonicae, Chinese: 銀花, Pinyin: Jin Yin Hua)
Japanese honeysuckle is an invasive vine that is predominantly found in Asia, but you can find it in other parts of the world due to its invasive nature. Chances are you could find at least one species of honeysuckle in the country you live in. Do be careful as I don’t know whether all of them have medicinal benefits.
The flowers of this plant are quite rare as there are not that many present on the plant and they shrink upon drying. That’s why you can expect the price of this herb to be somewhere between 3-6 USD per 50 g/1.76 oz.
Honeysuckle flowers are a staple of Chinese medicine, not to mention they are very well-researched and edible. Don’t confuse it with Ren Dong Teng (Caulis Lonicerae), which is the stem of the japanese honeysuckle.
