Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a fast-growing malignancy of the blood and bone marrow. In AML, abnormal myeloid cells rapidly multiply and further interfere with the production of healthy blood cells. AML can affect individual of any age but generally it is more commonly in older adults. Patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, recurrent infections, fever, easy bruising or bleeding, bone pain, weakness, and unexplained weight loss. AML develop due to acquired or hereditary genetic mutations in immature blood-forming cells and it further leads to uncontrolled growth of leukemic blasts in the bone marrow and blood stream.
Globally, AML accounts for nearly 1% of all cancer-related deaths and is one of the most common types of adult leukemia. The average age at diagnosis is around 65–70 years and according to international cancer statistics, the incidence of AML is approximately 4–5 cases per 100,000 people annually, with higher rates seen in elderly populations. Dr. Ravi Gupta, Ayurveda Cancer Consultant focuses on traditional Ayurvedic treatment for AML patients through individualized therapies, dietary guidance, and lifestyle-based care aimed at improving overall well-being and quality of life.

Ayurvedic Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Ayurvedic management of AML focuses on holistic treatment, improving quality of life, strengthening immunity, enhancing digestion and metabolism (Agni), and helping the body cope better with conventional therapies. Ayurvedic treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) include:
1) Herbal Treatment.
2) Panchakarma Treatment.

Herbal Treatment
1) Rasamanikya in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Rasamanikya is a classical and traditional herbo-mineral formulation mentioned in Ayurveda. Rasamanikya is prepared from purified Hartala (orpiment) through specialized Ayurvedic pharmaceutical process. Rasamanikya proves beneficial in patients with disorders involving Rasa and Raktha Dhatu. It also proves beneficial in disorders involving abnormal tissue metabolism.
Ayurveda interprets Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) as a severe disturbance of Rakta Dhatu, Majja Dhatu, and Rakthavaha Strotas. Rasamanikya is traditionally described to have properties such as Deepana (enhancing digestion and metabolism), Lekhana (scraping action), and Kapha-Pitta balancing effects.
2) Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus) in the management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus), also known as Indian Sarsaparilla is critical in the management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Sariva’s Raktaprasadana (blood-soothing) properties is indispensable in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Mechanism of action in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML):
A) Antiproliferative Activity: Hemidesmus indicus can induce apoptosis in several cancer cell lines, including leukemic cells, by modulating the mitochondrial pathway and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.
B) Raktaprasadana (Blood Purification): AML causes a pathological increase in “immature” blood cells. Sariva acts as a dhatu agnivardhak, helping to clear Amavisha (metabolic toxins) from the plasma and blood.
C) Immunomodulation: Sariva through its Rasayana effect enhances the functional capacity of healthy white blood cells.
Panchakarma Treatment in the management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
1) Baladi Yapana Basti in the Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Baladi Yapana Basti is on the important “life-sustaining” enema or basti in the management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Vajikarana and Rasayana is one of the most important properties of Baladi Yapana Basti. It has high-potency nutritional and immunomodulatory intervention to counter the extreme “unmaking” of tissues (*Dhatu Kshaya*) caused by the malignancy and aggressive oncological treatments. Mechanism of action of Baladi Yapana Basti in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) as follows:
A) Restoration of Hematopoiesis (Majjadhara Kala): Baladi Yapana Basti provides a concentrated source of nutrients that supports the surviving healthy stem cells. By nourishing the Majja Dhatu, it helps in the production of functional RBCs and platelets, potentially reducing the frequency of blood transfusions.
B) Management of Cachexia and Wasting: Leukemia often suffer from rapid weight loss and muscle atrophy. The brihana effect of this Basti helps maintain the patient’s physical integrity and weight. It also helps to build immunity in the patients.
Rasayana Therapy in the management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
1) Trifala Rasayana in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Triphala consists of Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki herbs. Trifala Rasayana proves a sophisticated metabolic regulator and DNA-protective agent in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients. Its long-term administration transforms its action from a laxative to a systemic rejuvenator. Mechanism of action in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML):
1) Apoptosis Induction: Research indicates that Triphala polyphenols (specifically gallic acid) can selectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells while sparing healthy cells.
2) Modulation of the Gut Microbiome: The “Gut-Bone Marrow Axis” is critical in AML. As a ‘Rasayana’, Triphala maintains a healthy gut environment, which is essential for the absorption of other potent anti-cancer drugs like “Rasamanikya” or “Bhallataka”.
3) Reduces Oxidative Stress: Trifala Rasayana protects the DNA of healthy cells.
