Ayurveda sees cancer (Arbudha) as the result of impure blood and aggravated Doshas, the Vata, Pitta and Kapha Doshas. Ayurveda, a science of life, can be used as an alternative therapy for deadly cancer. Modern medicine, on the other hand, has less to offer to tackle it.
Ayurvedic Approach to Cancer
The ancient Ayurvedic classics like Charaka Samhita and Shushruta Samhitha discuss cancer as Arbudha (major neoplasm) or Granthi (minor neoplasm), and Tridosaja and Sannipataja as the malignant stage of neoplasm or abnormal growth.
In Ayurveda, each individual is said to have a Prakriti (unique nature). As a system of medicine which treats the root cause of the disease, Ayurveda tries to find the actual cause of the disease, cancer. There are many reasons for the aggravation of Doshas and impurity of the blood.
Ayurveda and Growth of Cancer
Ayurveda describes the development of cancer in the human body as a result of the circulation of aggravated Doshas and impure blood. This impure blood and aggravated Doshas locate in certain parts of the body which is weaker in terms of immunity. This results in the abnormal functioning of the blood, in that part of the body. Moreover, it also disrupts the ability of the blood to carry Prana (life air) to the cells.
The Prana (life air), along with oxygen contains a form of energy, which helps the cells in their normal functions. The localisation of impure blood the Prana reaching the other parts of the body also turns impure. This results in the abnormal or uncontrolled cell division called cancer or Arbudha.
Causes of Cancer
Few reasons aggravating the Doshas—the root cause of cancer:
- Improper life style and food
- Smoking and chewing tobacco
- Breathing of polluted air or chemicals
- Consumption of vegetables and fruits containing pesticides
Treatment of Cancer in Ayurveda
Ayurveda offers support and comfort for the cancer patients. Ayurveda offers prophylactic, palliative, supportive and curative solutions for the cancer. Ayurveda can support the patient in many ways,
- It can be used as a co-therapy with the chemotherapy
- It can used along with the radio therapy
- It can be used for post surgery support
- To prevent cancer cell’s proliferation
- To cure the tumours
- It can be used as a therapy to improve the quality of life of the patient
Ayurveda preaches harmony with nature to battle cancer. Balance between the three Doshas should be maintained to prevent cancer

Ayurveda is based on scientific principles of diagnosis and treatment. It differs from conventional medicine in the basic principles of investigation and assigning causes to processes rather than specific areas of physiology.
Ayurveda has been a vogue since 5000 years ago. Our Vedas have been repeated references to the efficacy of Ayurveda as a science of healthy life. The western world is now realizing the value of Ayurveda in treating Chronic diseases like Arthritis, Paralysis, Stroke, Neurological disorders etc. Even WHO has given high rating for Ayurveda system.
