Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. These cells can invade nearby tissues and, if not treated in time, may spread to other parts of the body (a process known as metastasis). Cancer can affect almost any organ, including the breast, lungs, blood, digestive system, reproductive organs, and skin.

Breast Cancer

Homeopathic Support in Cancer Care:
Homeopathy aims to support the body’s natural healing response and help manage treatment-related discomfort. When prescribed by a qualified professional, homeopathy may help in:
Improving overall immunity
Reducing treatment-related side effects
Supporting emotional balance
Enhancing energy levels and appetite
Improving sleep and stress management
All homeopathic medicines are selected on an individualized basis, considering the patient’s physical condition, emotional health, and medical history.
Role of Ayurveda in Supportive Cancer Care
Ayurveda is an ancient system of natural medicine that focuses on restoring balance between the body, mind, and immune system. In cancer care, Ayurveda is used as a complementary and supportive approach to help improve overall well-being, strength, and quality of life during or after conventional medical treatment.Ayurvedic support aims to strengthen the body rather than target cancer cells directly.Ayurveda should be chosen only as supportive care for cancer patients. It is not a replacement for conventional cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The right Ayurvedic approach focuses on strength, immunity, digestion, and quality of life.
Recommended Ayurvedic Approach for Cancer Patients
1. Rasayana Therapy (Rejuvenation Ayurveda)
Rasayana is the most suitable Ayurvedic approach for cancer patients.It focuses on:
Strengthening immunity
Improving energy and vitality
Supporting tissue nourishment
Reducing weakness and fatigue
Enhancing recovery during or after treatment
Rasayana therapies are gentle and designed to support the body’s natural defense system.
2. Immunity & Strength-Supportive Ayurveda
Cancer patients should choose Ayurvedic care that emphasizes:
Immune system support
Digestive strength (Agni balance)
Stress and emotional stability
Better sleep and appetite
This type of Ayurveda helps the body cope with physical and mental stress caused by cancer and its treatments.
3. Personalized (Prakriti-Based) Ayurveda
Ayurveda works best when it is individualized.
A cancer patient should always receive:
Dosha-based assessment (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
Evaluation of digestion, strength, and mental state
Customized medicine, diet, and lifestyle guidance
There is no one medicine for all patients. Personalized Ayurveda is safer and more effective.
4. Diet & Lifestyle–Focused Ayurveda
Ayurveda for cancer patients should strongly focus on:
Easy-to-digest, nourishing food
Herbal digestive support
Daily routine balance
Stress reduction practices
Proper rest and gentle activity
Diet and lifestyle correction are as important as medicines in Ayurveda.
What Type of Ayurveda Should Be Avoided?
Cancer patients should avoid:
Aggressive detox therapies without medical approval
Heavy Panchakarma during active cancer treatment
Self-medication or over-the-counter herbal use
Claims of “Ayurvedic cancer cure”
Safety and medical coordination are essential.
