Basil

Basil, a.k.a. tulsi, has long been appreciated by Ayurveda for its medicinal properties. This potent cancer-fighting herb has a range of beneficial compounds, including rosmarinic acid, eugenol, carnosic acid, and apigenin, that can help it fight cancer.

Basil can also increase antioxidant action and stop damage to your DNA by radiation. It also deters the growth of new tumors and induces cell death.

Milk Thistle

Known for many years to help strengthen the liver, this cancer-fighting herb has now been revealed to protect the liver during chemotherapy.

Further examination showed that leukemia patients who consumed milk thistle had reduced chemo side effects and liver toxicity. There’s even evidence that it has anti-cancer activity, too.
