Mouth Cancer - Does Homeopathy Has An Answer For It?

Oral cancer is commonly known as mouth cancer. It is a type of cancer that develops in any part of the mouth or oral cavity.

It may occur on the:

• Gums

• Tongue

• Lips

• The roof of the mouth

• The inner lining of the cheeks

• The floor of the mouth

• Under the tongue

Oral cancer is painful and often fatal. It can happen due to various reasons. Cancerous tissues might grow right in the mouth or metastasize from a nearby location like the throat or the sinus cavity.

Symptoms

Some common symptoms of oral cancer include:
