In a recent report, researchers analyzed eight studies (involving a total of 664 participants) on the use of homeopathic remedies for relief of cancer-therapy-related side effects (including nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, and dermatitis). Based on the "like cures like" principle, homeopathy uses dilutions of natural substances (sourced from plants, minerals, and animals) that are chosen to match the patient's symptom pattern.
One study of 256 patients revealed that using an ointment made from calendula (also known as marigold) alleviated skin irritation resulting from radiation. Another study found that Traumeel S (a mouth rinse containing belladonna, arnica, St. John’s Wort, echinacea, and several other medicines) reduced mouth sores caused by chemotherapy. However, since homeopathic remedies failed to show any benefit over placebo in several of the other studies, the review's authors suggest that there is "no convincing evidence for the efficacy of homeopathic medicines for other adverse effects of cancer treatments."
