Ayurvedic treatment of cancer mainly centers on the principle of rejuvenation. As a different approach to the treatment of cancer, Ayurveda supports the process of purification in order to bring about a thorough rejuvenation in the afflicted person’s cellular structure. It is pre-empted that organ of the human body having malfunctioned over a long time may be prone to cancerous formation with the cellular growth rejecting to sync with the nerve signals.
The cancerous tumor is dissolved totally by means of Ras-Rasayan Medicines and Panch-karma. In the process of liquefaction, tumor gets converted into an uneven mass. This can be marked by means of CT scan / MRI / Ultrasound. Sometimes there may be increase in the size of tumor in the reports, due to irregular shape of liquefied tumor. No surgical process is used in dissolving or extracting the tumor.It is slowly absorbed by the veins and expelled out of the body. This liquefaction will lead up to the drying up of tumor. The entire process takes 3 to 4 months to complete. But if the tumor has affected the bone, it may take a longer period. There will be no need of chemo and radiotherapy.
The diet should be maintained and controlled during the medication period. Another important aspect of the diet is to maintain the energy level of the food. According to Ayurvedic thought, making food cold, for instance, by refrigerating, destroys the natural energy of the food. The belief is that this causes the loss of more energy than is lost through cooking. This then leads to poor metabolism, which in turn may lead to someone eventually developing cancer. Of course, not all people who eat refrigerated foods develop cancer. This is because everyone is different. Some people are capable of producing the proper stomach acids to counteract the coldness of the food. These people have what is referred to as “agni” or fire. These people more frequently develop fevers and diarrhea more often than the people who eventually develop cancer, which seems to imply that they are better at excreting the toxins.
The prime cause of cancer is not known. Certain cancer-causing substances, known as carcinogens, however, increase the chances of getting the disease. About 80 per cent of cancers are caused by environmental factors. The consumption of pan, betel nut, tobacco and slaked lime has been linked with cancer of the tongue, lips, mouth and throat. Cigarette and cigar smoking and hukka puffing are linked with lung and throat cancers. Heavy consump¬tion of alcoholic drinks can cause esophageal, stomach and liver cancers. Occupational exposure to industrial pollutants such as asbestos, nickel, tar, soot and high doses of X-Rays can lead to skin and lung cancers and leukemia.
