Ayurveda is a traditional and holistic system of medicine that has originated in India 5000 years ago. It is well known fact that Ayurveda is derived from two words firstly from “Ayur” that means life and second from “Veda” which means knowledge or science. So popularly Ayurveda is called “Science of Life” or “Art of Healthy and Harmonious Living”.
Ayurveda strongly believes and preaches that physical and mental health of an individual relies on balance and harmony of three doshas. These three doshas are:
1) Vata Dosha (Akasha and Vayu): Vata Dosha largely governs movement and communication related function in the body.
2) Pitta (Jala and Agni): Pitta Dosha largely governs metabolism and transformation in the body.
3) Kapha (Jala and Agni): Kapha dosha largely governs structure and stability in the body.
A state of balance and harmony between the doshas is essential for physical and mental well-being of an individual. Below is mentioned some important aspect of ‘Best Cancer Treatment in Ayurveda’:
1) Ayurvedic Cancer Treatment
As described above it is a well-known fact that like other diseases ‘Cancer’ is also caused by accumulation of Dustha or vitiated doshas. So for amelioration and treatment of cancer it is important to treat dustha or vitiated doshas. In Ayurveda two different treatment modalities are mentioned: 1) Shodhana. 2) Shamana.
a) Shodhana Chikitsa: Shodhana Chikitsa is one of the most important treatment modality in the treatment of Cancer. Through Shodhana Chikitsa vitiated or excess dustha doshas and ama (undigested food material) is removed from the body.
Shodhana Chikitsa boost overall health and well-being of cancer patients. It also boosts Agni and so proves beneficial in Cancer Patients. If bala or strength of the cancer patient is best or uttam and there is no contraindications then Shodhana Chikitsa can be given.
b) Shamana Chikitsa: Shamana Chikitsa is also called pacifying therapy in Ayurveda, and is simpler and less severe than Shodhana Chikitsa. Shamana Chikitsa mostly involves different treatment modalities that help to reduce imbalance in the doshas and boost Agni so by proving beneficial in cancer patients.
Shamana Chikitsa mostly involves oral medications and local applications that is easier to administer and proves beneficial in cancer patients. Shamana Chikitsa focuses on different aspect of cancer patients like Dipana, Pachana etc,

3) Ayurvedic Approaches to Cancer / How Ayurveda Approaches Toward Cancer
As we all know ‘Is Cancer mentioned in Ayurveda or not?’ or ‘Cancer can be called Arbuda or not?’, the following debate has been going since many decades with advent of Allopathy Science. Many eminent and accomplished Ayurvedic experts have and had a varying and contrasting views spiralling around the above mentioned ‘million dollar’ questions, some agreeing to the views that indeed Cancer is mentioned in Ayurveda and is mentioned as ‘Arbuda’, and some not agreeing to the same as ‘Cancer’ cannot be called ‘Arbuda’ as a small chapter has been dedicated to same for a Maharoga like Cancer which is definitely fatal if not treated at an earlier stages.
In accordance to my personal opinion and different references mentioned in Samhitas, I would like to state that we can definitely define ‘Arbuda’ as ‘Cancer’. But not all types of ‘Cancer’ can be called ‘Arbuda’. It is that specific composition of dustha doshas and medha dhatu which is mentioned in ‘Samprapti of Arbuda’, and when the same affects different dhatus (Rakhtadi) and avyav (Organs) can lead different forms of Cancers, and not all can be categorized as Arbuda as it is specifically mentioned that it affects Mansha dhatu only.
