Lung cancer at stage 4 is a serious condition where conventional treatments like chemotherapy are the mainstay. In Ayurveda, while we cannot claim a cure, we can certainly offer supportive measures to improve comfort, strength, and immunity during this challenging time. It’s crucial to continue with the conventional treatment plan and consult with the oncologist before integrating any new therapies.

For someone unable to eat or drink much, focus on easily digestible, light nourishment. Warm liquids are generally easier to handle. Think of thin rice gruel, called “kanji,” which is mildly spiced with a pinch of cumin or ginger to aid digestion and reduce nausea. If swallowing is hard, limit rice to just its starchy water for now.

Fresh pomegranate juice in small amounts can help reduce nausea and is non-irritating. Ensure it’s natural and diluted, sip slowly throughout the day if tolerated. Also, the yashtimadhu (licorice root) in a mild decoction could soothe the throat and reduce nausea, but test it cautiously to see if it’s accepted.

The patient’s kapha dosha may be aggravated, possibly due to the stagnation of fluids and lack of appetite. Light and dry foods, like roasted ajwain seeds, may assist in digestion. However, be careful with spices—always begin with the mildest options and see how it responds.

Pranayama (breathing exercises) might be beneficial, but approach gently. Focus on simple breathing, like deep diaphragmatic breaths, to minimize stress and support lung function. Ensure he is seated comfortably and not over-exerted.

Gentle oil massage (abhyanga), especially with warm sesame or coconut oil, might support circulation and relaxation but avoid heavy oils if nausea is severe.

Close monitoring of his symptoms and staying in close communication with his healthcare team is vital. Integrating these Ayurvedic practices requires a delicate balance to complement his existing treatment and aid comfort without causing conflicts.
