Keywords:
Arbuda, Cancer, Shamana Chikitsa, Shodhana Chikitsa, Rasayana
Abstract
Ayurveda being an ancient system of medicine it offers a distinct framework for understanding and managing various diseases, including Cancer. In Ayurveda, Cancer is conceptualized through various traditional terms and principles that reflect a holistic approach to health. Ayurvedic perspective on Cancer primarily revolves around the concept of Arbuda and the imbalance of the doshas, wherein it is associated with an imbalance in three dosha. Particularly, an excess of Kapha dosha is believed to contribute to the formation of abnormal masses or tumour’s, akin to cancerous growths. This imbalance leads to the accumulation of morbid tissues and toxins in the body, disrupting the normal function of organs and tissues. The progression of these growths is thought to be influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and emotional stress, which can exacerbate the disease. Ayurvedic texts describe Cancer-like conditions with characteristics such as irregular growth patterns, hardness, and invasiveness, which align with modern understandings of malignancies. Ayurvedic approach to cancer treatment focuses on restoring dosha balance, detoxifying the body, and strengthening the immune system. This involves a combination of dietary changes, herbal remedies, and therapeutic practices like Panchakarma, a detoxification regimen that aims to eliminate accumulated toxins and rejuvenate the body.References
