What Does a Lump Under the Armpit Mean and How Can Ayurveda Help in Diagnosing and Treating It? - #16213
I recently noticed a small lump under my armpit, and I’m concerned about what it could mean. I want to understand more about the potential causes of this lump and how Ayurveda can help in diagnosing and treating conditions related to this. From what I understand, a lump under the armpit can be caused by a variety of factors, such as swollen lymph nodes, cysts, or even an abscess. But what I don’t fully understand is how to differentiate between benign lumps and those that might be more serious, like a tumor. How can I tell if this lump is related to an infection, an injury, or another condition? I’ve read that Ayurveda views the body holistically and focuses on balancing the doshas to maintain overall health. Are there Ayurvedic remedies, such as turmeric or neem, that can help reduce inflammation and treat conditions like lymph node swelling or cysts? Does Ayurveda recommend any lifestyle changes or therapies, such as lymphatic massage or herbal poultices, to treat lumps under the skin? Another thing I am wondering about is whether Ayurveda suggests dietary modifications to support lymphatic health or promote detoxification. Should I focus on anti-inflammatory foods like ginger, garlic, and green leafy vegetables to reduce swelling and promote healing? If anyone has experienced a lump under the armpit or has used Ayurveda to address similar concerns, I would love to hear your experiences.
