Traditional Indian Herbs Curing Cancer

As the conventional therapeutic strategies fail to fulfill the major requirements for a successful cancer therapy, the use of naturally developed anticancer agents has evolved as an alternative safe, low-cost and convenient one. Therefore, the use of plant extracts with potential anticancer therapeutic effects might be particularly significant, especially in India, which is rich in thousands of plant species known for their medical uses.
