Support for Radiation Therapy Patients

Naturopathic medicine can be a supportive, evidence-informed addition for patients receiving radiation therapy. It does not replace oncology treatment, but works alongside it to support overall health, resilience, and quality of life. Radiation may contribute to fatigue, appetite changes, digestive symptoms, and skin irritation. Naturopathic care focuses on individualized assessment, nutritional support, lifestyle guidance, and symptom management tailored to the patient’s needs and treatment plan. A key component is safety and collaboration, with careful review of therapies and communication with the oncology team to ensure approaches are appropriate and do not interfere with radiation. This integrative model helps patients feel supported, informed, with the hope of increased tolerance to treatment.
