Everything About Cancer
In simple terms, cancer happens when body cells alter out of control. Generally, human body cells perish to make new ones. Cancer shakes this process, resulting in abnormal cells growing. Tumours grow in these cells and can spread to create more tumours. Ayurveda refers to cancer as a complete disproportion and breakdown of the Doshas or energies, Dhatus or tissues, and Stotras or channels.
The most common cancer types in India are breast, cervical, oral, cavity, lung, and colorectal. Women suffer from breast, ovarian, cervical, and oral cancers, while men suffer from oral, head, neck, lung, and stomach cancers. The causes include lifestyle choices like tobacco and alcohol consumption, a diet high in processed food, and inactive living, environmental changes, infections, and heredity.
In fact, India has seen a rise in cancer detection, with one out of nine Indians likely to suffer from this disease in their lifetime. In 2022-23, 1.4 million new cancer cases were detected, with Tamil Nadu showing a major rise in cases. While undergoing treatment as per the type and gravity, it is beneficial to follow Ayurvedic tips to boost health. Also include Patanjali products and medicines for the same.
