The pituitary gland is oval shaped. It is small and is located at the base of your brain. The function of the pituitary gland is the production of hormones which control the other glands in the body. While the cells in the brain usually grow in a controlled manner, if the order is disturbed, the cells continue to divide. These then form a lump. This lump is known as a tumor. In some cases the tumor is benign. Sometimes, however, the tumor is malignant. If the tumor is malignant, then the cells can invade the tissues that surround the tumor and even spread to other parts of the brain. However in most cases the tumors on the pituitary gland are benign. They usually do not spread to other parts of the brain.
You have not mentioned if your niece is suffering from a benign or a malignant tumor on her pituitary gland. It is rather difficult to give any kind of information about home remedies with so little information. However, your niece can try to avoid eating meat. If she smokes, she should be advised to give this habit up. Giving up alcohol will also make it easier for her to fight the tumor. Horseradish and muellin tea can be applied if the tumor is visible. Other home remedy ingredients that can be used are pokeweed and lobelia. You should also drink tansy tea.
