Efficacy of Alternative and Mental Health Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

Castor Oil:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the Brease Cancer itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence at present to back up this claim.

Recommendation: weakly against (Cremophor EL, a formula made from castor oil may help to treat breast cancer, however, it has various potentially serious side effects)

Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence

Ayurvedic Medicine (Ayurveda):

Please note, this management does NOT treat the Brease Cancer itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence at present to back up this claim.

Recomendation: no recommendation (there is insufficient evidence that shows that Ayurveda helps to treat breast cancer in any way)

Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
