The Ayurvedic Perspective on Cancer: Understanding the Root Cause

Ayurveda understands cancer as an imbalance of the doshas in the human body. These doshas are VATA, PITA and KAPHA. This imbalance can leads to the accumulation of toxins i.e. “ama” in the body, which can disturb the cellular function of the body .Here are some key terms to understand this perspective:

Doshas: VATA governing the air and space of the body, PITA is the master of fire and water and KAPHA manages the earth and water. Ayurveda believes that every disease that comes in the body is the result of an imbalance of these three elements and this imbalance is called dosha.
Ama:Ama is a sanskrit word , which means “toxins” and “waste” in the body that accumulates due to bad digestion and elimination.

How Panchakarma therapies Helps in eliminating the toxins from the body:

Panchakarma therapies and panchakarma chikitsa originated nearly 5000 years ago to cleansing the toxin from the human bodies. In this article we will study how panchakarma therapy comes into trending again in this modern world and also we will compare panchakarma therapies with modern approaches.

Panchakarma is a five-fold process, but not all procedures may be suitable for everyone. A qualified Ayurvedic practitioner will assess your individual needs and recommend specific therapies. Here’s an overview of some potential benefits in the context of cancer support:

The name Panchakarma defines five processes of detoxifications like:-

Vamana – The process of elimination of waste products and toxins from the upper channel (mouth).
Virechana – This process is used to control and maintain the “Pitta dosha”.
Basti – Special kinds of ayurvedic oils are used to treat many problems like lumbar stiffness, joint pain etc.
