Cancer

Cancer - modern and Ayurvedic view of treatment

Cancer is a serious disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells in the body. Symptoms of cancer can include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, changes in digestion, changes in the shape and size of tumors, pain, and more.

Causes of origin

According to modern medicine, cancer can be caused by genetic factors, exposure to carcinogens and lifestyle. Ayurveda emphasizes an imbalance in the doshas and the accumulation of toxins as the main causes of disease. Emotional, psychological and environmental factors are also important.

According to Ayurveda, cancer can be caused by an imbalance in the body's tridosha system, which consists of vata, pitta and kapha. These doshas, when in balance, maintain the health of the body. However, an imbalance in these doshas can lead to various diseases, including cancer. Here are some of the possible causes of cancer from the perspective of Ayurveda:

1. dosha imbalance: an imbalance of vata, pitta or kapha can lead to the formation of toxins in the body and a weakening of the immune system, which in turn can lead to cancer

2. accumulation of toxins (ama): according to Ayurvedic philosophy, the accumulation of toxins in the body, known as ama, can cause damage to cells and tissues and lead to cancer

3. improper diet and lifestyle: consumption of unhealthy foods such as processed foods, preservatives and artificial ingredients, as well as lack of exercise and poor lifestyle, can contribute to cancer according to Ayurveda

4. disruption of digestion and metabolism (agni): according to Ayurveda, a weakened digestive fire (agni) can lead to the formation of unhealthy tissues and cells, which can subsequently result in cancer

5. emotional and psychological factors: according to Ayurvedic philosophy, emotional and psychological factors, such as long-term stress, can lead to an imbalance of doshas and thus diseases, including cancer

Although Ayurveda offers its own explanation of the causes of cancer, it is important to remember that modern science also has its own scientific explanations and approaches to this disease. It is important that people with cancer consult with their doctor to find the most appropriate treatment for their case.
