Sorry, there is no documented evidence in existence that herbal remedies are effective for lung cancer. As long as you are aware of that, than you might consider contacting a Naturopathic or holistic practitioner in your local area. They can advise you about what they think will help you out. However, from my experience of knowing dozens of patients who have 'tried the natural route' . . I've not met one who has had their cancer 'cured'. At best the treatment they offer will make you 'feel' better, but it won't stop the progression of the disease. I had a friend recently who found this out the hard way. He did the research and decided that the natural way was better for him the chemotherapy and radiation. He had stage 1 disease and after surgery was cancer free. He embarked on a naturalistic approach complete with a diet on all the foods, supplements, and herbals that were recommended to stop cancer. It didn't work. Within six months the natural treatment failed and he is now a stage IV. During the time he gave up on chemotherapy and radiation the microscopic cells spread and implanted and grew. It took six months before they all became visible on a Cat Scan. He took the chance, he doesn't regret it, and he thinks that at least the diet made him feel better . . but he no longer believes that natural approach alone can 'cure' or get rid of cancer cells. Personally, I wish the natural approach did work . . but there is no evidence that it does . . so, if you wish to pursue a curative treatment (rather than palliative) than traditional is the only documented and validated way to do so.
