Why people with
cancer use ayurveda?
People with cancer use touch therapies such as massage and
aromatherapy. Many people say these therapies help them to deal better with
cancer and its treatment. Research is looking into whether some herbs or plant
treatments used in Ayurveda medicine for cancer.
But, we still don't know much about few of the treatments
that are part of Ayurvedic medicine. These include treatments like special
diets and herbal remedies. These treatments could be unhealthy to your health or
interfere with conventional treatment such as cancer drugs and radiotherapy.
How Ayurveda Sees
Cancer
In Ayurveda, any imbalance in the body system is created by
the overexpression or under expression of one or more of the Doshas. Hence, all
disease starts with them. Dosha imbalance can head to dis-ease according
to the following basic stages:
Accumulation − where one or more than one of the Doshas has
increased.
Aggravation − as levels increase for one Dosha, this becomes
reason for the remaining Doshas to become imbalanced.
Overflow − the accumulated Dosha increases into the body
carrying Aama, or toxic waste products.
Localization − the Dosha establishes at a weak site in the
body.
Manifestation − i.e. symptoms.
Disease − this would be the point where a conventional
doctor would make an analysis of dis-ease, such as a particular type of cancer.
One major indication of health and vitality, according to
Ayurveda, is the capability of the body to adapt the changing environments and
external stimuli. When the body is not able to adapt, this disturbs the communication
between body functions. The process of communication disruption can also be
provoked by Aama.
Conclusion and
Perspectives
The
most ancient wisdom and science of life, Ayurveda, has a deep history and
its basic rules are valid even today. Less or minimal effectiveness and severe
toxic side effects of current cancer therapies seeks the global attention
towards herbal medicine to capture the dangerous nature of this
disease.
In addition, more than 80% of the world’s population cannot
bear modern medicines. Western medicine provides symptomatic treatment and
largely avoids the underlying conditions, whereas Ayurveda examines the disease
from root of origin. Ayurveda plays an crucial complementary role to western
medicine in treatment efficiency. In addition, most of the lowest economic
strata can get a benefit by choosing Ayurveda instead of western medicine as
Ayurveda gives cost-effective treatments.
Principally,
the long-term wellbeing is crucial for vulnerable communities, who rely on
healthy bodies for a steady income, which can be achieved by opting ayurvedic
treatment for cancer. Ayurvedic supplements protect healthy cells, regulate
body metabolism and examines the disease, e.g., halts cancer progression or
acceleration.
