Home remedies for acute and chronic leukemia:

Are there any home remedies for controlling leukemia?

Home remedies in the form of lifestyle changes can benefit leukemia patients.
Leukemia refers to a condition where the bone marrow of the patient is affected by cancer. The disorder occurs due to abnormal and uncontrolled growth of the white blood cells in the bone marrow. There are certain remedies for the control of leukemia but choosing the remedy chiefly depends on the type of leukemia as well as the extent to which the disease has spread in the body. Two different types of leukemia are Acute and Chronic.


Acute leukemia occurs due to rapid and uncontrolled growth of immature blood cells. The overproduction of these cells results in clouding in the bone marrow as a result of which the bone marrow is not able to produce healthy white blood cells. This form of leukemia is more common in children and young adults.

Chronic leukemia refers to a condition where there is an excessive and uncontrolled production of mature blood cells. The cells are produced over a period of months or years resulting in the over production of white blood cells. The chronic type of leukemia generally occurs in elder people.
