According to current estimates, more than 4.5 million people in Germany are living with or after cancer. For many, a cancer diagnosis has a profound impact on their lives - not only during treatment, but often long after.
With our individualized therapy offer, we would like to specifically address two main groups of patients:
Patients who wish to receive additional naturopathic support while undergoing conventional medical treatment
Patients who wish to receive additional naturopathic support after completing conventional tumour therapy
Patients currently undergoing oncological therapy
Conventional tumour therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy or endocrine therapies are often associated with side effects, some of which can be significant.
These can vary greatly from person to person and depend on the type and duration of treatment, physical condition and general state of health of the patient.
One of the most common side effects is tumour fatigue – a deep, persistent exhaustion that is hardly alleviated by rest or sleep. Other side effects include nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, constipation, weight loss, sleep disorders, as well as pain and psychological stress such as anxiety and depressive moods.
All of these symptoms can severely impair quality of life and stamina during an already stressful illness. This makes it all the more important to support patients holistically and offer them supportive measures in addition to conventional medical treatment. The aim is to alleviate the side effects, maintain or improve quality of life - and thus make the therapy better tolerated overall.
To this end, we provide detailed consultations on complementary naturopathic therapies. These can be conducted by telephone or during an outpatient appointment. If necessary, our services are supplemented by short inpatient stays of five to ten days between the respective therapy cycles.
Patients who have completed their conventional tumour therapy
About 60% of patients were diagnosed with cancer 5 years or more ago. They are considered long-term survivors ("cancer survivors"). However, although the disease appears to have been overcome, many of them report a reduced quality of life compared to the healthy population. Today, quality of life is more than just a subjective feeling - it is now considered a relevant prognostic factor for long-term survival. For this reason, it is increasingly becoming the focus of holistic aftercare.
