What is a benign tumor and how can Ayurveda address it naturally? - #16655
A few months ago, I found out that I have a benign tumor in my abdomen. The doctor explained that it’s not cancerous, but it can still cause discomfort and should be monitored regularly. I’ve been trying to understand more about what exactly a benign tumor is and how it can affect the body. I know that benign tumors are not cancerous and usually grow slowly without spreading to other parts of the body, but I’m still concerned about whether this could lead to any other complications. I’m also interested in how Ayurveda views benign tumors and if there are any natural remedies that can help with managing or preventing their growth. Does Ayurveda consider benign tumors to be the result of imbalance in the doshas or the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body? Are there specific herbs or treatments in Ayurveda that help reduce the size of benign tumors or detoxify the body? I’ve read that Turmeric, Ashwagandha, and Guduchi are beneficial for reducing inflammation and supporting immune health, and I’m curious if they could help in my situation. If anyone has dealt with benign tumors and used Ayurvedic treatments or lifestyle changes, I’d love to hear about your experiences and what worked for you.
