In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: AYU: Efficacy of Rasayana AvalehaCancer is the most dreadful disease affecting mankind. The available treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have cytotoxic effects, which are hazardous to the normal cells of the patient, causing many unnecessary effects.—In modern medical history and Ayurveda, a number of references are available regarding the pathogenesis and management of cancer. In Ayurveda, all cancerous growths have been described under various types of arbuda. Malignancies can be considered under various tridoshika and asadhya (incurable) presentations of the disease.
Ashvagandha (Withania somnifera) exhibits adaptogenic, immune stimulation activity and an anti-mutagenic effect, suggesting a high potential of this plant in cancer management.
Rasayana-avaleha (an Ayurvedic preparation) has proved to be an effective adjuvant therapy in protecting patients from the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. [...]. Therefore, administration of rasayana-avaleha along with chemotherapy and radiotherapy can improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
