Natural composition extracted from plants used in the treatment of cancer

A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a cancer-treatment effective amount of a composition which consists essentially of:

• (a) 3% to 5% by weight Centaurea extract;
• (b) 1.5% to 4% by weight Capsicum extract;
• (c) 1.5% to 4% by weight Lobelia extract;
• (d) 20% to 40% by weight Myrrh extract;
• (e) 30% to 50% by weight Echinacea extract;
• (f) 15% to 25% by weight Goldenseal extract;
• and
• (g) 3% to 5% by weight Myrtle extract.

A process for preparing a cancer treating composition consisting essentially of 30% to 70% by weight of Goldenseal extract, 20% to 40% by weight of Myrtle extract, and 5% to 20% by weight of Centaurea extract, comprising:

• preparing each extract by mixing separately each of Goldenseal, Myrtle, and Centaurea with a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, ethyl alcohol and a mixture of water and ethyl alcohol to provide a liquid phase and a solid phase;
• bringing the mixture of said liquid phase and said solid phase to a boil;
• cooling the mixture and optionally adding an amount sufficient of ethyl alcohol to the liquid phase to provide a concentration of 10-30% ethyl alcohol by volume;
• permitting the mixture to stand for at least about two weeks;
• filtering to obtain the liquid phase which constitutes said composition;
• and
• combining each of said extracts to obtain said composition.
