Easing the Journey: Homoeopathy's role in compassionate end-of-life care
Abstract
Cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases in modern medicine, often associated with irreversible pathological changes and limited curative options in advanced stages. While surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the mainstays of conventional oncology, the role of complementary approaches such as homeopathy in palliative care has attracted increasing attention. This article explores the principles, historical perspectives, and clinical applications of homeopathy as a palliative modality in cancer, aiming to improve patient’s quality of life without claiming to cure the disease.
