The star of Grease gave credit to her husband John Easterling, founder of the Amazon Herb Company, for helping her overcome the pain associated with her health crisis.
In an interview with America's Closer Weekly magazine, Newton-John said:
My husband makes tinctures for me that help immensely with pain, inflammation, sleep, and anxiety. I would like to research all of this and find out what else is happening because I feel good.

Newton-John revealed that she takes "many herbs" for her breast cancer - which she was first diagnosed with in 1992 - in addition to conventional treatments like radiation.
There are many herbs that I take. And for the last 10 years, I have used cannabis. I have also been eating vegan, as my daughter (Chloe Lattanzi) was visiting me, and she is vegan. Besides that, I feel very good this way.
The songwriter, singer, and actress also expressed hope that she will live to see a "world beyond cancer."

After living for years with different types of cancer and undergoing surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, I thought it would be wonderful if we could find different types of treatments for people going through the same problem.
