Ayurveda's healing touch for cancer patients


Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, might not have found a cure for cancer as yet but it is now being used to make radiation and chemotherapy more effective and also help patients recuperate speedily from painful after effects of therapy.
Ayurveda consultant Dr M Sunanda Devi says that she suffered from oral cancer last year. "I took both radiation and chemotherapy for the disease.
I experienced unbearable thirst and pain as a result of therapy. And because of the ulcers in the mouth I could not eat anything.
Allopathy failed to give me relief and I turned to Rasayana, a procedure in Ayurveda which is a combination of salves, some medicines and a prescribed diet. Soon I started feeling the difference,"she explains.
The side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy manifest gradually and become painful.
Nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, fatigue, weight loss, radiation burns and hair loss are among the common side effects patients suffer during and even after treatment.
Ayurveda experts say there could be relief from all these symptoms. "Certain medicines and a right diet can not only speed up treatment, but also complement it,"says Dr Sarangapani, assistant professor at DRKR Ayurveda Hospital in Erragadda.
Interestingly, allopathic doctors have begun to vouch for Ayurveda remedies. "The combination of vitamins and ointments work wonders, post radiation,"explained Dr Monica Gupta, oncologist at Medwin Hospital.
Some of the major corporate hospitals, realising the growing popularity of ayurveda, have begun to open separate wings for this alternative medicine.
Kamineni Hospital has a separate department for ayurveda and treats over 30 cases of cancer everyday. Apollo Hospital has an ayurveda consultant on the rolls.
Medwin Hospital treats around 2 cancer patients everyday.
Ayurvedic consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Dr B Ranganath says, "Ayurveda is used primarily for rejuvenation after radiation where healthy tissue is also damaged with the diseased tissue.
It speeds up the healing process. Common items like turmeric, and gooseberries can arrest cancerous tendencies in the body.

Common Breast Cancer Myths

The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.

Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.

Third is that it is solely hereditary

The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?

Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.

Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
