Teas to Help You Cope with Cancer Treatment

Over the years, I had bad experiences with some of my cancer treatments and medication. Reactions to strong medication and damage from radioactive treatment have left me with challenges. Now that the cancer has metastasised, I’m off treatments as they won’t work anymore. So, talking to friends who are experiencing similar things, I decided to include a range of beneficial herbal teas on my website (www.lunchwithlouise.com.au).

I’m a bit of a tea fanatic and love not just hot teas but cold teas as well. I normally make up a big pot of tea, drink a cup or two while it’s hot, then put the teapot into the refrigerator or fill up a drink bottle and have the rest of it cold. If you are looking at teas to help you cope with cancer treatment, then the ones below are worth trying. Part of my cancer journey has been to be very careful of what I eat and drink. In the process, I’m hoping to help my body rid itself of nasty toxins and naturally heal. It’s not a cure but a relaxing way to fill your body with goodness in the company of a good book and just the therapeutic act of relaxing with a nice cup of tea has to be good for me – right?

These cleansing and therapeutic teas listed below can help you cope with cancer treatment and feel good.
