Ashwagandha targets cancer stem cell signalling pathways and may enhance standard of care
Don't overlook the power of ancient botanical medicines when creating a powerful cancer healing protocolAshwagandha Cancer Research Summary
The ancient botanical Ashwagandha Withania somnifera (also called “Indian Ginseng”) targets cancer stem cell signalling pathways. See links to research below.
Ashwagandha may also supports cancer patients during a Ferroptosis protocol and research below indicates Ashwagandha to be synergistic with Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, 5-FU, Doxorubicin & Radiotherapy.

Ashwagandha and Breast Cancer Research
maybe not what you expected. Ashwagandha research article from 2021
Keeping abreast about Ashwagandha in breast cancer
Results
Various forms of Withania somnifera were used and several in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies were reported by researchers. They found Ashwagandha to exhibit anti-apoptotic, anti-metastatic, anti-invasive and anti-inflammatory properties and gave the evidence that Ashwagandha has a capability for averting and treating breast cancer.
Conclusion
Various in vitro and in vivo studies suggested Ashwagandha may possess a potential for treating breast cancer, especially ER/PR positive breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. A clinical trial has also been conducted in the past that suggested its potential in refining quality of life in breast cancer patients. Studies directed towards molecular pathways have helped in unravelling the key mechanisms of Ashwagandha."
