Empower yourself with holistic strategies for cancer care, blending the wisdom of herbal medicine with the latest research to help you understand your diagnosis, navigate treatment options, and significantly enhance your quality of life throughout every stage of your cancer journey.
Over the course of a lifetime, 40% of people in the West will be diagnosed with some form of cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.
With the amount of information on cancer prevention, treatments, and care that’s available, making sense of it all can feel overwhelming.
The good news is that there’s a lot you can do to take preventive measures and minimize your risk of ever having cancer.
And, if you do receive this life-changing diagnosis, you can replace your fear and confusion with optimism and understanding when you learn the profound information that Chanchal Cabrera, medical herbalist and author of Holistic Cancer Care, has to share with you about cancer prevention and treatment options.
Empowered with this information, you can show up as an active participant in your care, having a say in your treatment choices, and feeling confident in your ability to influence your health outcomes.

She wants you to know that there are herbal remedies available to you that can help you confidently proceed with your prescribed cancer treatment and maximize its efficacy.
In fact, herbal remedies are some of the most cost-effective and powerful ways to support your whole-system health and resilience.
Whether you choose a primarily Western allopathic approach or an alternative path for addressing cancer prevention and treatment, herbs can be potent allies for thriving before, during, and after a cancer diagnosis. You have choices!
Join Chanchal for a transformative 7-week live video course that will help you optimize your health, develop a personalized plan for cancer prevention and treatment, and enhance your quality of life with herbal medicine.

With Chanchal’s guidance, you’ll feel empowered as you learn to harness the therapeutic power of plants for all stages of your wellness journey — including recognizing early warning signs, recovering after surgery, optimizing radiation treatment, managing pain, and more...
... within a supportive community of people who are on a similar healing path.
During this health-promoting course, you’ll:
