Doctors’ responses

Namaste, I’m glad to hear that you have successfully undergone treatment and are doing well now. In Ayurveda, cancer recurrence is linked to the accumulation of Ama (toxins), weakened Agni (digestive fire), and imbalances in Tridoshas, especially Pitta and Kapha. Strengthening immunity (Ojas), detoxifying the body, and maintaining a disciplined lifestyle are key to preventing recurrence 1. Herbal Medicines & Rasayana (Rejuvenation Therapy) • Guduchi (Tinospora Cordifolia) – Acts as a powerful immune booster and detoxifier. Take 1 tsp Guduchi powder with warm water in the morning. • Ashwagandha – Enhances immunity, reduces stress, and prevents abnormal cell growth. 1 capsule or ½ tsp powder with warm milk at bedtime. • Turmeric with Black Pepper – Strong anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Take 1 tsp turmeric with a pinch of black pepper in warm water daily. • Chyawanprash – A powerful Rasayana that strengthens immunity. Take 1 tsp daily in the morning. • Arogyavardhini Vati – Supports liver detoxification and digestion. Take 1 tablet twice daily after meals. • Kanchnar Guggulu – Helps prevent abnormal growths and detoxifies the lymphatic system. Take 1 tablet twice daily. 2. Dietary Guidelines • Eat a fresh, plant-based diet rich in antioxidants (green leafy vegetables, fruits, whole grains). • Include cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) as they have anti-cancer properties. • Drink green tea or Tulsi tea daily to cleanse toxins. • Avoid processed foods, refined sugar, fried foods, and excess dairy as they increase inflammation. • Use cow’s ghee in moderation to nourish body tissues. • Drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and detoxification. 3. Lifestyle & Stress Management • Daily Pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika, and Bhramari) to improve oxygenation and reduce stress. • Mild Yoga (Surya Namaskar, Vajrasana after meals, and Pawanmuktasana) for digestion and circulation. • Maintain a regular sleep cycle and avoid stress, as stress weakens immunity. • Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and highly spicy foods, as they can irritate the esophagus. Regular Monitoring & Follow-ups • Continue with regular medical check-ups and screenings as advised by your oncologist. • If any discomfort arises, consult a doctor immediately. Duration of Ayurvedic Treatment: A minimum of 3-6 months of consistent Ayurvedic support, followed by long-term lifestyle modifications, is recommended to prevent recurrence. Stay positive, eat healthily, and follow Ayurvedic principles for a long and healthy life

Hello Dr, To prevent the recurrence of esophageal cancer, focus on reducing inflammation, boosting immunity, and detoxifying the body with Ayurveda. Take Guduchi, Amalaki, and Turmeric to fight inflammation, along with Chyawanprash and Ashwagandha to rejuvenate tissues. Monitor inflammatory markers like CRP, ESR, and IL-6, along with tumor markers like CEA, to track any hidden risks. Follow a light, warm diet, avoiding spicy, fried, and processed foods, and drink lukewarm water for better digestion. Practice Pranayama, meditation, and mild yoga to improve oxygenation and reduce stress. If needed, undergo Panchakarma detox (Virechana & Rasayana therapy) under expert supervision to cleanse toxins and strengthen immunity. Regular monitoring and a disciplined lifestyle will help reduce the risk of recurrence. Please contact a local Ayurvedic physician for better management.
