“…In those patients, brain metastasis was not observed. The patient receiving Viscum album as anticancerous remedy showed increase in the survival rate by 4.8 month and patients who took no treatment the survival rate was 2.7 month [22] . Pdimethylaminoazobenzene-induced hepatocarcinogenesis mice model which induce cytological changes such as chromosomal aberration mitotic activity and also chemical changes and reduced aspartate transaminase, lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione carcinogenic changes was used to determine the anticarcinogenicity of Natrum sulph.…”

Homoeopathy is among the commonly used alternative approaches in Cancer. It is being widely used as palliative and curative in patients suffering from cancer. Though studies on the use of Homoeopathy in cancer after surgery, radio therapy and chemotherapy have been reported, clinical trials on effects of Homoeopathy in cancer are rare. Some studies on the effect of dosage of Homoeopathic medicines and their mechanism of action in cancer have also been published. A few case reports published here and there also find a mention in different databases. This review aims to describe literature available on the approach of Homoeopathy in Cancer by searching various databases from online library. It was found that beneficial effects of Homoeopathic medicine are reported on some cancer cell lines via apoptosis and immune modulation. Homoeopathic treatment given as add on also improves the quality of life, survival time and presenting complaints. However, more evidence needs to be generated to demonstrate anti tumor or antimetastatic potential in controlled clinical trials.

Homoeopathy, a conventional complementary and alternative therapy, is used by many cancerous patients but its mechanism and action has not been explored yet also these medicine are effective in low doses. Anti-cancerous role of Homoeopathic medicine is under search. These medicine are supposed to be anti-cancerous as they cause malignant cell death or size deduction by inhibition of proliferative cells, apoptotic signally, enhancing mitochondrial membrane permeability and lowering cancer marker enzymes. Ruta, Thuja 200c and Hydrastis, Lycopodium 1M inhibit nitrosodiethylamine and used in brain cell glial growth. Conium inhibit substage G of cell cycle and also AKT and NF-KB leading toward apoptosis pathway and it is anti-tumorous against breast cancer. Sabal serrulata activates NF-KB apoptotic pathway and inhibit 5-alpha reductase and treat BPH. Medicines like Ruta, Thuja, Carcinosin modulate immunity and protective against cancer. Chelidonium lowers the cancer marker enzymes and cause Necrosis treating hepatocellular carcinoma. Viscum Album increased the survival rate in pancreatic cancerous patient. Cadmium Chloride in low potency reduced the size of brain stem tumor in boy. Lycopodium in male patient in 30c increased the life span and relieved the pain of inguinal hernia and adenocarcinoma. Podophyllum possess anti-prostate cancer potential. Natrum sulph 200c reduced cytological and genetical aberration induced by carcinogens. Condurango is used against stomach cancer. Gelsemium with silver nanoparticles precipitate showed antiproliferative of skin melanoma. Psorinum is effective against human lung cancer. Sulphur is effective against non-small cell lung carcinoma.

“…Literature shows extensive studies on either the extract and or chemical constituents isolated from V. album in different types of cancer, including bladder [ 10 ], breast [ 11 ], pancrease [ 12 ] and many more. However, limited studies are available, which have shown that extract and compounds isolated from V. album attenuated smooth muscle activity [ 13 ].…”

BackgroundViscum album has shown inhibitory effect on different smooth muscles but underlying mechanisms in gut and vascular smooth muscles are not well defined. Additionally, the plant has also importance in managing hyperactive gut and cardiovascular disorders. The current study was aimed to probe a pharmacological base of the smooth muscle relaxant effect of V. album in gut and vascular preparations.MethodsV. album crude extract (Va. Cr) and its ethyl acetate fraction (Va. EtAc) were studied using in vitro techniques. The antispasmodic activity was performed using isolated rabbit jejunum while the vasorelaxant effects were studied in rabbit aortic rings.ResultsVa. Cr and Va. EtAc inhibited spontaneous and high K+-induced contractions with EC50 values of 0.31 mg/mL (0.15–0.57) and 0.62 mg/mL (0.3–0.95), respectively. This advocates an antispasmodic effect probably operated through calcium channels blockade (CBB). The proposed mechanism was confirmed by a pretreatment of the tissue with Va. Cr (0.01–0.3 mg/mL), which shifted the Ca++ concentration-response curves (CRCs) rightward, similar to verapamil. Moreover, Va. Cr showed a partial relaxation against high K+ and PE (1 μM) induced contractions in isolated rabbit aorta rings. Va. EtAc caused complete relaxation of high K+ precontraction and partially relaxed PE (1 μM) induced contractions, suggesting inhibitory effect on Ca++ entry, in addition to other possible mechanisms. CRCs were shifted to the right correspondingly to verapamil when the aortic rings were pretreated with Va. Cr and Va. EtAc.ConclusionsThese data indicated that Va. Cr possesses smooth muscle relaxant effect mediated through voltage-dependent Ca++ channel blockade (CCB), which explains its spasmolytic and vasorelaxant activity. The CCB activity is concentrated more in Va. EtAc. This study provides an evidence for the medicinal importance of V. album in gut spasm and possibly hypertension.
