Dr. Bhupendra Kumar, Dr. Abhinav Sharma, Vd. Amol S Kadu

Abstract: Cancer, a global health problem, is responsible for one in six deaths worldwide. While advancements in conventional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted treatments have improved outcomes, significant challenges remain, including treatment resistance, severe side effects, and a lack of holistic care. An Ayurvedic approach to cancer care emphasizes strengthening digestion, eliminating toxins, reducing tumor growth, and improving tissue metabolism. This holistic strategy focuses on restoring equilibrium, building strength, and rejuvenating the body, making it a valuable complement to conventional cancer therapies and supportive care. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to healing that encompasses not only the physical aspects of cancer but also addresses mental, emotional, and spiritual well - being. Ayurveda has the potential to advance cancer care and contribute to its cure.
