Cancer is regarded as a vitiation of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Many cancer patients do seek Ayurvedic therapies for the relief or cure of various types of cancers. Depending on the severity and stage of the cancer, the earnestness of the cancer patient in following Ayurvedic treatments, and on various other factors, Ayurveda may or may not bring about relief. Please remember that Ayurveda does not claim to “cure” diseases, but to restore balance to the physiology.
