What is hemangioma and how does Ayurveda approach its treatment? - #16616
A few weeks ago, I noticed a small, red mark on my skin that gradually got larger. I went to the doctor, who said it was a hemangioma, which is a benign tumor of blood vessels. The doctor told me it’s not dangerous but suggested keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t grow. I understand that hemangiomas are usually harmless, but it’s still been a little concerning to have something like this on my skin. I’ve read that hemangiomas can sometimes shrink or disappear on their own, but they can also cause discomfort or affect appearance, depending on their size and location. The doctor mentioned that surgical removal might be necessary if it starts causing issues, but I’m looking for natural remedies first. Does Ayurveda offer any treatments or herbs that can help shrink or prevent the growth of hemangiomas? I’ve heard that Turmeric and Neem are both known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, so I’m wondering if they could be useful in managing hemangiomas. Are there any specific Ayurvedic therapies, like oil applications or poultices, that can help with the healing process? I’d love to hear from anyone who has dealt with hemangiomas and whether they’ve used Ayurvedic treatments or lifestyle changes to help manage them.
