Root Cause of Disease
Mesothelioma of the pericardium is extremely rare. It is a primary cancer of the pericardium, the layer of tissue that surrounds the heart. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelium, the tissue that surrounds most organs in the body. The vast majority of cases are primary cancers of the pleura, the part of the mesothelium surrounding the lungs because asbestos fibers are generally inhaled during exposure.
Symptoms
Symptoms often don’t appear until decades after any asbestos exposure. In those cases with no asbestos exposure, symptoms still don’t seem to be troubling until cancer has developed into later stages. Many of the symptoms of this type of mesothelioma result from the fact that it causes fluid to build up between the two layers of the pericardium and from a thickening of this tissue.
Potential symptoms of pericardial mesothelioma include
- Heart palpitations
- Trouble breathing
- Weight loss
- Shortness of breath when lying down
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Cough (often dry and non-productive)
- Night sweats
- Fever
Causes
- Pericardial cancer is so rare, studies are limited, and it is difficult to determine what causes it. Like pleural mesothelioma, causes are thought to include asbestos exposure.
- There may be a component of environmental or genetic factors.
- Having a family history of this cancer and being exposed to asbestos over a long period of time are the two strongest risk factors.
- Men are twice as likely as women to have this type of cancer, likely due to workplace asbestos exposure.
- Pericardial mesothelioma, like pleural mesothelioma, is linked to asbestos exposure, but the connection is not as strong.
- It is not clear how the fibers of asbestos could get to the pericardium and cause a primary tumor. It may be that fibers migrate from lung tissue to the area around the heart.
- Pericardial mesothelioma can also lead to complications related to the heart.
- These are not indicative of mesothelioma, as they can occur in many other situations, but they can be additional clues for the right diagnosis.
Home Remedies To Treat Pericardial Mesothelioma
Remedy – 1 :Cannabis
Materials: Cannabis and Cannabinoid
Cannabis, also known as Marijuana, has been found to ease cancer pain as well as chemotherapy-induced nausea. It is more effective in relieving symptoms, has few, if any, side effects, and the patients do not build up a tolerance. Cannabis contains chemicals called cannabinoids, Phyto cannabinoids or cannabidiol.
Remedy – 2 : Garlic
Materials: Garlic
Garlic has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and helps protect the immune system. You need at least one clove a day or 100-1,000 milligrams of extract for efficacy.

Remedy- 3: Green Tea
Materials: Green tea
Green tea is a good source of antioxidants. Polyphenols, a chemical in green tea, has been known to help with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support. Drinking up to 3 cups each day can yield positive results.

Preventions
Reducing your exposure to asbestos may lower your risk of mesothelioma.
Most people with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos fibers at work. Workers who may encounter asbestos fibers include:
- Asbestos miners
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Pipefitters
- Insulators
- Shipyard workers
- Demolition workers
- Brake mechanics
- Selected military personnel
The best way to prevent mesothelioma is to avoid exposure to asbestos. To minimize your risk, always wear protective gear and follow safety precautions when working with asbestos.
