Researchers from Portugal said that some herbal preparations, which include ginger, turmeric, garlic, may have a negative effect in the treatment of breast cancer..

Very often, with advanced breast cancer, ulcers and cracks form on the skin, which many patients try to “treat” with ointments and creams, which include herbal ingredients..

As experts from Portugal from Nova Medical School found out, such actions not only do not help wound healing, but also interfere with the effects of chemo- and hormonal therapy..

In particular, the substance that is part of garlic or ginger prevents blood clotting, which leads to the formation of even more wounds and scars.. Similarly, many other plant substances can not only slow down the processes of scarring of wounds, but also reduce the effectiveness of drug treatment..

The representative of this study in Lisbon, Maria Joao Cardoso, announced the significant harm to the body of oncological patients of drugs, which include plant components. At the moment, there is no scientifically proven evidence of the safety of using such drugs..
