Collection: Carcinoid Syndrome / Tumors

What is Carcinoid Syndrome and Carcinoid Tumors?

Carcinoid tumors are a rare type of slow-growing cancer that typically develops in the neuroendocrine cells of the digestive tract, lungs, or other organs. These tumors can sometimes produce excessive hormones, leading to carcinoid syndrome—a condition characterized by symptoms such as facial flushing, persistent diarrhea, wheezing, abdominal pain, and in some cases, heart valve damage.

While carcinoid tumors often grow slowly, they can eventually spread (metastasize), affecting organ function and quality of life. The exact cause remains unclear, but genetic and environmental factors may contribute to their development.

Natural Support for Carcinoid Syndrome

While conventional medical care is essential for the treatment of carcinoid tumors, natural methods may offer gentle support for overall well-being. These may include:

Anti-inflammatory foods such as leafy greens, berries, and turmeric to help reduce systemic inflammation.

Liver-supportive practices (like drinking warm lemon water or using castor oil packs) to assist in detoxification.

Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to manage wheezing and stress-related symptoms.

Mindful movement such as yoga or gentle walking to support circulation and energy balance.
