Oral cavity cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in India, and is heavily driven by regional habits involving tobacco, betel quid, gutkha, and alcohol, with Uttar Pradesh bearing a substantial burden of head and neck carcinomas as part of the country’s central high-risk belt. Within Jaunpur and surrounding semi-urban and rural areas, oral cancer screening uptake remains critically low, with district-level analyses highlighting an uptake of approximately 0.1 percent among eligible demographics.
Many patients in this region visit the doctor only when oral cancer has reached an advanced stage (Stage III or IV). At this stage, treatment becomes more difficult, and the 5-year survival rate is generally below 50%. These poor outcomes are mainly caused by the use of smoking and smokeless tobacco, betel quid, and areca nut, which increase the risk of oral cancer. These habits can also cause conditions such as oral submucous fibrosis, leukoplakia, and erythroplakia, which may develop into cancer.

Under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician, Ayurvedic treatment focus on treating the mouth and oral cancer, nutrition, digestion, strength, oral hygiene, and improving quality of life. Treatment principles of mouth and oral cancer include:
1) Ayurvedic Herbal Medicines for the treatment of Mouth and Oral Cancer

These include Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera).
Herbal medicines should be selected carefully by a qualified practitioner after reviewing the patient’s diagnosis, medications, kidney and liver function, and ongoing cancer treatment.
2) Ayurvedic treating During Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy for the treatment of Mouth and Oral cancer
Patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy for mouth cancer can experience mouth ulcers, oral mucositis, dry mouth, taste changes, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, and reduced appetite.

Proper nutrition is important for maintaining strength, supporting recovery, and helping patients tolerate cancer treatment. An individualized diet generally include:
a) Soft, well-cooked foods that are easy to swallow.
b) Protein-rich foods such as dal, lentils, curd, paneer, eggs, or other suitable protein sources.
c) Adequate fluids, according to the patient’s medical condition.
d) Nutrient-rich foods such as cooked vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, modified according to oral pain and swallowing ability.
