Menopause and cancer risk
Menopause does not cause cancer, but your risk of developing cancer increases as you age. 
There are numerous essential oils that have been shown, with peer-reviewed studies, that they can be beneficial for cancer.  There are over 1400 studies on essential oils and cancer on PubMed.
                                                
While I don’t recommend the same treatment for every patient, there are several oils that I consistently recommend for patients who desire a proactive cancer protocol. 

I also do a lot of testing to find out what each patient needs because every person is different. A "one size fits all" protocol is not the approach most natural practitioners use when trying to restore balance, reduce inflammation and boost immunity.  

Most Often recommended products:

Sacred Frankincense or Frankincense oil - Frankincense oil is also traditionally regarded as an option treat issues related to the immune system, respiratory concerns, and stress and anxiety. All of these things negatively impact the body, and make it prone to many diseases including cancer, so it is understandable why frankincense can serve a positive impact in overall wellness.

MyrrhModern studies have shown that the main pharmacological effects of myrrh are anti-inflammatory, anticancer, analgesic, and antibacterial, among which the anticancer effect has been studied the most.

CBDThe action of CBD that’s promising for cancer treatment is its ability to moderate inflammation and change how cells reproduce.

A more complete protocol is in my book "Menopause Essentials"

Meet Dr. Comeaux, the "Oily MD"

 
Welcome to my page, I am a board certified Gynecologist in Houston, TX who after completing medical school and residency, also completed studies in:

Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine
Integrative Cancer Therapy
Naturopathic Medicine
Holistic Nutrition
Herbal Medicine
Aromatherapy

I combine traditional medicine with alternative methods to guide people through their best aging experience. Despite the lack of "hard" data, essential oils have various reported beneficial effects, mainly based on their historical use on thousands of patients by generations of healers. Essential oils have chemical compounds that may be beneficial during the aging process.
