Ginger
Ginger has long been used in folk medicine to
treat everything from colds to constipation. Ginger can be used fresh,
in powdered form (ginger spice), or candied. Although the flavor between
fresh and ground ginger is significantly different, they can be
substituted for one another in many recipes. In general, you can replace
1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger with 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger,
and vice versa.
Consuming ginger and ginger products, in addition to taking any anti-nausea medications as prescribed, may provide some comfort for a queasy stomach during cancer treatment.

Rosemary
Rosemary is a hearty, woody Mediterranean herb
that has needlelike leaves and is a good source of antioxidants. Because
of its origin, rosemary is commonly used in Mediterranean cooking and
you’ll often see it included as a primary ingredient in Italian
seasonings. You can use it to add flavor to soups, tomato-based sauces,
bread, and high-protein foods like poultry, beef, and lamb.
Rosemary may help with detoxification; taste changes; indigestion, flatulence, and other digestive problems; and loss of appetite. Try drinking up to 3 cups of rosemary leaf tea daily for help with these problems.

Turmeric
Turmeric is an herb in the ginger family; it's
one of the ingredients that make many curries yellow and gives it its
distinctive flavor. Curcumin appears to be the active compound in
turmeric. This compound has demonstrated antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties, potentially protecting against cancer
development.
Turmeric extract supplements are currently being studied to see if they have a role in preventing and treating some cancers, including colon, prostate, breast, and skin cancers. Although results appear promising, they have largely been observed in laboratory and animal studies, so it’s unclear whether these results will ultimately translate to humans.

Garlic
Garlic belongs to the Allium class of
bulb-shaped plants, which also includes chives, leeks, onions, shallots,
and scallions. Garlic has a high sulfur content and is also a good
source of arginine, oligosaccharides, flavonoids, and selenium, all of
which may be beneficial to health. Garlic’s active compound, called allicin, gives it its characteristic odor and is produced when garlic bulbs are chopped, crushed, or otherwise damaged.
Several studies suggest that increased garlic intake reduces the risk of cancers of the stomach, colon, esophagus, pancreas, and breast. It appears that garlic may protect against cancer through numerous mechanisms, including by inhibiting bacterial infections and the formation of cancer-causing substances, promoting DNA repair, and inducing cell death. Garlic supports detoxification and may also support the immune system and help reduce blood pressure.
