Episode Details

In this episode, I had the honor of chatting with a brilliant teacher of mine, Medical  Herbalist & Horticulture Therapist, Chanchal Cabrera MSc, FNIMH, RH(AHG) , who’s spent years exploring how herbalism can coexist with modern cancer care. 

Chanchal began her journey in herbalism and took that deep plant wisdom right into cancer research and care. We talking about how herbs can play a crucial role in supporting patients through their cancer journeys, from reducing treatment side effects to helping those in end-of-life stages find peace.  

We also get real about the politics of food, and how the system is set up to keep us sick. Good nutrition should be a right, not a privilege, ya know?  It was truly a beautiful and inspiring conversations to have.

In a world where health care is often a maze of complicated decisions, Chanchal shows us how herbs can offer patients not just physical relief but emotional and spiritual comfort as well. 

Whether you’re an herbal enthusiast, someone touched by cancer, or just someone interested in alternative healing paths, you won’t want to miss this one.

Chanchal has an excellent new book out, Holistic Cancer Care, where she brings together her decades of research and hands on practice helping those with cancer care, and  end of life times.
