Modern treatment modalities for cancer include surgery,
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell
transplant, photodynamic therapy and laser treatment. Unfortunately, even a
combination of these treatments is not fully successful in eradicating all
known types of cancer, or preventing recurrence. Resistance to treatment and
serious side effects of treatment also remain serious issues.
Ayurvedic treatment can be successfully utilized as adjuvant
therapy to overcome all the major drawbacks of modern treatment. The single biggest
advantage of Ayurvedic medicines is the ability to significantly improve body
immunity, which can help overcome drug resistance and treatment failure, and
bring about therapeutic success. Ayurvedic treatment also reduces side effects
of modern treatment, and positively helps in reducing tumour size, speeding up
the process of remission, and delaying chances for recurrence. Even advanced
cancer can be controlled, with significant improvement in quality of life and
survival time.
In order to derive maximum benefit from Ayurvedic treatment,
it is imperative to commence treatment at the earliest possible. It would be
rather unwise to turn to Ayurvedic treatment after exhausting all other
therapeutic options, and then expecting miracle benefits in the terminal stage
of cancer.
