Ayurvedic cancer treatment focuses on accelerating the body’s natural healing processes by natural treatment options and avoiding the use of radiation and chemicals. Cancer patients who use Ayurvedic treatments can effectively manage their symptoms and enhance their general health without worrying about adverse health repercussions. In order to enhance and nourish health, Ayurveda offers rasayana chikitsa, which combines a wholesome lifestyle with the proper medications and treatments. The major goal is to sustain health by intense involvement in illness prevention.
Rasayana chikitsa consists of preventive treatments to boost immunity and general health, targeted treatment for managing diseases, and rehabilitation care for the afflicted to enhance quality of life. With the right treatments and exercise, Sanjeevanam provides specialized care to this demographic in order to promote health in cancer patients. A balanced diet, lifestyle changes, and stress reduction strategies are also emphasized in Ayurvedic cancer treatment since they can help the body’s natural healing process. At Sanjeevanam we offer all these to the patient for enhancement of general health and well being.

After cancer treatment, it is important to be vigilant and watch for any signs and symptoms that may indicate potential concerns. These can include persistent fatigue, unexplained pain, prolonged fever, night sweats, unintended weight loss, persistent nausea or vomiting, changes in bowel or bladder habits, noticeable skin changes, the appearance of new lumps or bumps, difficulty breathing, balance problems, and memory issues. Any of these symptoms should be promptly reported to healthcare providers for evaluation and appropriate management. Regular follow-up visits and open communication with healthcare professionals are essential to monitor and address any potential complications or recurrence of cancer.

Since ancient times, the oldest system of plant-based therapy in India, known as Ayurveda, has been used to prevent or reduce a variety of tumours. Additionally, researchers are becoming more interested in studying complementary and alternative therapies for the treatment of cancer.
According to the “Charaka” and “Sushruta Samhitas,” an Ayurvedic notion, cancer is referred to as either “Granthi” (a small neoplasm) or “Arbuda” (a major neoplasm) and is defined as an inflammatory or non-inflammatory swelling.

A flawless treatment for the disease is expected from the complementary and alternative medicine system, despite the fact that mainstream cancer therapy is known to be plagued by drug-induced hazardous side effects. Finding the root cause of an illness is the main objective of Ayurvedic therapy, which is divided into four categories: Prakritisthapani chikitsa (health maintenance), Rasayana chikitsa (restoring normal function), Roganashani chikitsa (curing diseases), and Naishthiki chikitsa (spiritual approach).
