These cells form tumors, which are lumps of tissue. They may break away from tumors using lymphatic system or blood stream to travel to other areas of your body. Lung cancer is one in which anormal growth of cells starts in the lungs. Lungs are two spongy organs in the chest that controls breathing.

Each of these doshas has its own unique qualities and an imbalance in any of these doshas can lead to various health issues.

Eating the right food according to an individual’s dosha or constitution can help balance the imbalance of doshas and promote holistic health. Ayurveda promotes eating Sattvic foods (fresh and natural) and avoiding rajasic (pungent, spicy) and tamasic foods (Spoiled. Stale).

c) Prevention of diseases – Ayurveda emphasizes and believes in prevention of diseases rather than just curing the diseases.

d) Concept of Panchamahabhutas- Ayurveda believes in five basic elements- Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Space. Everything in universe including human being is composed of these five elements. These elements in varied proportion makes three humors known as Tridoshas, which govern creation, maintenance and destruction of bodily tissues.

Role of diet in cancer management-

Cancer and its treatment can sometimes negatively affect your appetite, making it difficult to have a balanced diet. It may lead to cachexia which is associated with severe weight loss, muscle loss and fat loss. Diet and nutrition is an integral part of cancer related treatment. A healthy nutrient dense diet may help reduce the risk of malignancy, provides better tolerance to treatment and its side effects, helps in better recovery, and keeps up energy and vitality in cancer patients. Ayurvedic texts have detailed discussion about the concept of ‘Aam’.

Aam denotes the abnormal and impaired process of digestion and metabolism that leads to build up of toxic byproducts which cannot be neutralized or eliminated by the body. In Ayurvedic view, all diseases including cancer are originated from this ‘aam dosha’. Aam Dosha is formed due to malfunctioning of ‘Agni’ that is digestive fire. To correct Agni, proper diet management is a crucial step.

Ayurvedic properties of Goats milk- 

According to ayurveda, lungs are considered as kapha dosha predominant sthan {place/organ}. Due to vitiation of qualities of kapha dosha, the mucus turns highly viscous which hampers normal airflow through lungs. Abnormal kapha dosha can lead to many health issues specifically in kapha dosha predominant sthan {place/organ} that is lungs including cancer.

As far as lung cancer is concerned, goat’s milk may help preserve lung cellular integrity and reduce inflammation by lowering oxidative stress. Traditional ayurvedic texts recommends using goat’s milk to treat infections like tuberculosis because of its natural medicinal properties which helps to cure pulmonary TB. Ayurvedic texts have detailed discussion about qualities of Aja dugdh {goat’s milk} where it is said to be laghu i.e. easier to digest and most beneficial in symptoms like Jwara {fever}. Shwas {shortness of breath. Wheezing}. Raktapitta {coughing out blood} and Shosh {weight loss. cachexia} which are common symptoms seen in lung cancer patients.

Health benefits of goat’s milk-

Goat’s milk has many potential health benefits. It is easier to digest than cow’s milk because it has smaller fat globules. It has short and medium chain fatty acids that break down faster providing quick energy to cancer patients. It is considered as a very good source of protein that helps cancer patients in gaining weight in a healthier way and prevents muscle loss. Also, it has more calories than other types of milk that also adds to healthy weight gain.

It is considered as a rich source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A and vitamin D. These vitamins and minerals are very useful for overall healthy functioning of the body. It has less lactose than cow’s milk so it can be a good alternative for patients with sensitive stomach. Overall goat’s milk has immunomodulatory effects. Allergy management, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial

Hence. Goat’s milk is highly recommended in lung cancer patients for overall wellbeing and better recovery.

علاج سرطان الثدي بالطب الأيورفيدي

ما هو الثدي؟

الثدي هو السمة البارزة لجسم الأنثى وهو عبارة عن بنية معقدة تقع على الصدر. ورغم أن الرجال لديهم ثديين أيضًا، إلا أن نموهما أقل بسبب انخفاض مستويات هرمون الاستروجين. الثدي هو جانب مهم من جسم الإنسان، وخاصة عند الإناث ويلعب دورًا مهمًا في الصحة الإنجابية والجنسية للإناث

يتكون الثدي من غدد وقنوات منتجة للحليب تحمل الحليب إلى الحلمة. تسمى هذه الوظيفة للثدي بالرضاعة وتساعد في إنتاج الحليب الذي يساعد في تغذية الرضيع. الحلمة هي الجزء البارز من الثدي وتساعد في توصيل الحليب إلى فم الرضيع. أحد أهم المخاوف المتعلقة بصحة الثدي هو “سرطان الثدي”. يمكن أن يتطور سرطان الثدي في الغدد أو القنوات أو أجزاء أخرى من الثدي

ليست كل الكتل في الثدي سرطانية ولكن بعضها حميد (كتلة غير سرطانية). أكثر أنواع الكتل شيوعًا والتي يتم تفسيرها بشكل خاطئ على أنها كتلة سرطانية في الثدي هي “الورم الليفي الغدي”. يمكن تحريك الورم الليفي الغدي بسهولة ويصيب عادة الإناث الأصغر سنًا، وغالبًا ما يصيب النساء في سن ١٥ إلى ٣٥ عامًا.

This ancient Indian system of medicine focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit, using natural remedies to support overall health. Ayurvedic medicine has been gaining recognition for its holistic approach to managing prostate cancer, aiming to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

What is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that occurs in the prostate gland, which is a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid. While it can be a slow-growing cancer, early detection and treatment are crucial. Conventional treatments include surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy, but many patients are now exploring Ayurveda as a complementary approach to these methods.

Best Cancer Treatment in Ayurveda

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.

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.

Best Cancer Treatment in Ayurveda

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’.
