Phlebitis may be considered a temporary or permanent limiting factor for the continuity of treatment in patients with cancer. Depending on extent of inflammatory process at the venipuncture site, the vascular endothelium suffers irreversible lesions, such as phlebosclerosis, and then this vein is impossible to be used for new punctures. The prevention of phlebitis, the control of evolution after occurrence and the reversal of the inflammatory signs are necessary, especially in patients who have a highly sensitized veins. Phytotherapics have been used as an alternative way to treat phlebitis. Chamomilla recutita has been used in ointment, gels or compresses due to potential anti- inflammatory effect.
