🌿 Herbs Studied for Ovarian Health & Anti-Cancer Potential

- Ashoka (Saraca indica): Classical herb for female reproductive health, balances menstrual cycles, supports uterine health.

- Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): Nourishes reproductive tissues, balances hormones, and supports fertility.

- Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): Immunomodulator, antioxidant, supports liver and detox pathways.

- Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties studied in ovarian cancer models. - Tulsi (Holy Basil): Adaptogen, antioxidant, supports immunity and reduces oxidative stress.

Modern Research Highlights - Curcumin (from turmeric): Shown in lab studies to inhibit ovarian cancer cell growth and enhance chemotherapy sensitivity. - Resveratrol (from grapes): Antioxidant with potential anti-cancer effects. - Green tea (EGCG): Studied for reducing ovarian cancer risk and slowing cell proliferation.

🍵 Gluten-Free Product Options (General Wellness) (These are supportive supplements, not treatments) - Curcumin capsules (standardized extract, gluten-free brands available). - Organic Shatavari powder (can be mixed in warm water or milk alternatives). - Guduchi/Giloy juice or tablets (immune support). - Tulsi tea (naturally gluten-free, calming, antioxidant). - Green tea extract capsules (ensure gluten-free certification).

🧘 Lifestyle Support - Diet: Fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, gluten-free whole grains (quinoa, rice, millet). - Exercise: Gentle yoga, walking, pranayama for stress reduction. - Avoid: Processed foods, excess sugar, fried/oily meals—these aggravate Kapha and Ama (toxins). - Routine: Regular sleep and stress management are protective factors.

Warm Regards DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT

Start with Amla juice 10ml+ aloevera juice 10ml twice daily after food with 30 ml. Water. This combination is high in anti oxidants, with minerals and vitamins, that can prevent growth of cancer cells. Turmeric fresh if you can get, grate and boil in milk and take daily and make turmeric milk.can take this daily. Do pranayam lom -vilom bhastrika bhamri 5-10mins twice daily. Avoid sugar, white flour items, bakery products. Use cold pressed, or filtered oil for cooking , instead of refined oil. Include fresh green vegetables semi cooked sauted in your diet daily. Take seasonal vegetables and seasonal fruits in your diet.

Hello thanks for your question. Let’s talk honestly about herbs and ovarian cancer. First, and this is big—herbs by themselves don’t cure cancer.

Ayurveda and herbal remedies work best as a support, not a replacement for standard cancer care. They can help the body cope, but they aren’t a cure.

Here are some herbs and natural options people often use alongside medical treatment:

Turmeric / Curcumin
This one’s famous for fighting inflammation and acting as an antioxidant. Some research shows curcumin slows cancer cell growth in the lab. It also helps with inflammation and supports detox. To get the most out of it, take it with black pepper or some fat like oil or ghee.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
An adaptogen that helps your body handle stress and supports your immune system. Some test tube studies hint it might slow cancer cell growth, but real evidence in humans is still thin.

Guduchi / Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia)
Traditionally used to help the immune system and detox. It’s known for boosting general resilience, especially with chronic illnesses.

Tulsi (Holy Basil)
Packed with antioxidants, tulsi helps protect your cells and support immunity. It’s a nice supportive herb during cancer care.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry)
Loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, amla helps support cell health and your body’s defenses.

Above are all. Single herbs which are proven to slow down. Cancer growth

Below are pharmaceutical combination which helps in cancer

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1.Chemoyog 1 sachet mix with varundi ghrita 1 tsp morning empty stomach

2.cytocruel AT 1-0-1 after food

What does the research actually say?
Lab studies show that herbs like turmeric, ginger, and garlic can slow down cancer cells in petri dishes. But we haven’t proven they cure cancer in real people. Mixing some herbal remedies with standard treatment might help manage symptoms or ease side effects, but they don’t replace surgery or chemo.

Lifestyle and diet matter too. While food won’t cure cancer, it can help your body stay strong during treatment.

Focus on:
- Foods high in antioxidants, like turmeric, ginger, green tea, citrus, amla, leafy greens
- Anti-inflammatory foods, like garlic, olive oil, nuts, and seeds
- Gentle movement, yoga, and meditation to manage stress
Try to avoid:
- High sugar
- Processed foods
- Alcohol

One last thing— some herbs and high-dose supplements can actually interfere with chemo or radiation. So please, run every supplement or herb by your oncology team before starting anything new.

Ayurveda and herbs can help reduce inflammation, support your immune system, improve digestion, and maybe ease some side effects. They’re never a stand-alone treatment and always need to be coordinated with your main cancer care.

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

When ovarian cancer is in stage 3 or 4, there may be pain, bloating sensation due to mass per abdomen, indigestion issue, vomiting, irregular or post menopausal bleeding, oedema of legs.

You didn’t mention anything. So I literally confused in which stage you are.

For a preventive measure, you can go for genetic screening. Can check CA125 - which is more than 35 is suggestive of epithelial ovarian cancer

You can take satavari choornam 1 tsp regularly for a healthy ovary. Brahmi capsule once daily for overall immunity

Ayurveda plays a strong supportive (Adjunct) role in cancer management to build immunity and reduce tumor growth, but it must NOT replace Oncologist advice, Chemotherapy or Surgery.

Kanchanar (Bauhinia variegata) This is the gold standard herb in Ayurveda for Granthi (Lumps/Cysts/Tumors) and Arbuda (Cancer), specifically in the glandular and reproductive systems (Ovaries/Thyroid/Lymph).

Recommended Products Kanchanar Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily.

Curcumin (Haridra) Extract: 500mg capsule twice daily.

Vridhivadhika Vati: 1 tablet twice daily.

Dietary Note Since you are already Gluten-Free, that is excellent as it reduces inflammation (Kapha).

Avoid Sugar: Cancer cells feed on glucose. Cut out refined sugar completely to starve any potential abnormal cells.

HELLO,

Ovarian cancer is a condition where abnormal cells grow in the ovaries and do not follow the body’s normal control mechanisms. These cells grow due to a long standing internal imbalance rather than a sudden event.

Ayurveda does not describe cancer with one single word, but conditions like -Arbuda (solid growth) -Granthi (cystic or glandular growth) -Dushta vrana (chronic pathological tissue change) are closest to ovarian cancer

WHY DOES IT DEVELOP Overtime, the following happen -Weak digestion->toxins accumulate -Kapha dosha causes abnormal tissue growth -Pitta dosha causes inflammation and rapid cell activity -Vata dosha causes spread and pain -Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa and Artava Dhatus (plasma, blood, muscle, reproductive tissue) get affected -natural immunity becomes weak

This creates an internal environment where abnormal tissue can grow

TREATMENT GOALS -support the body alongside modern treatment -reduce inflammation and toxin load -improve digestion and metabolism -strengthen immunity and vitality -support hormonal and reproductive tissues -improve quality of life -reduce recurrence risk

TREATMENT APPROACH

1) DEEP DETOXIFICATION Shodhana- if patient strength allows

VIRECHANA= therapeutic purgation ->clears excess pitta and toxins from liver-blood axis

BASTI (medicated enemas) -> controls Vata, improves pelvic circulation, reduces pain

These are NOT home procedure and only done when patient is stable

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

A) CORE SUPPORTS FORMULATION

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =reduces abnormal tissue growth, supports lymphatic cleansing, helpful in ovarian ,uterine , thyroid growths

2) HARIDRA CAPSULES= 500mg twice daily with warm milk =strong anti inflammatory and antioxidant, supports immunity, helps reduce cellular irritation

3) GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 500mg cap twice daily after meals =immunomodulator, improves tolerance to chemotherapy, reduces fatigue and infections

4) ASHWAGADHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night =improves strength and stamina, reduces stress and anxiety, supports recovery and sleep

5) AMLA POWDER= 1 tsp in morning with warm water =powerful antioxidants, supports liver and digestion, improves immunity

6) SHATAVARI= 500mg cap twice daily after meals =suppots female reproductive tissues, balances hormones gently, nourishing during recovery

DURATION -MINIMUM= 3-6 months -CHRONIC SUPPORT= 12 months

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

OIL MASSAGE= BALAASHWAGANDHADI TAILA -Frequency= 3-4 times/week =reduces pain, calms nervous system, improves circulation

GENTLE STEAM -After oil massage -helps detox and reduces stiffness -avoid if extreme weakness or fever

YOGA ASANAS -baddha konasana= pelvic circulation -supta baddha konasana -setu bandhasana -vipartia karani -shavasana

Avoid strong inversions or strain

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= 10 min -bhramari= for mental calm -deep abdominal breathing

BENEFITS -reduce stress hormones -improves oxgenation -strengthens immunity

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal, red rice, millet, quinoa -steamed vegetables- bottle gourd, pumpkin, carrot -turmeric, ginger, cumin -homemade soups and broths -amla, pomegranate, papaya

AVOID -sugar, bakery items -cold foods and drinks -processed and packaged food -excess dairy -red meat -alcohol

EATING RULE -eat only when hungry -no overeating -early dinner before 7 pm

SIMPLE REMEDIES -Turmeric + black pepper + warm water daily -jeera coriander fennel tea for digestion -warm water sipping throughout the day -triphala 1/2 tsp at night if constipation

IMPORTANT -Never stop chemotherapy or surgery without oncologist advice -Always disclose herbal medicines to your doctor -Avoid unknown cancer curing products

Ayurveda sees the body as capable of healing when supported correctly The goal is not fear based treatment but strengthening digestion, immunity, mind, and tissues so the body can respond better to treatment and recover more completely

Consistency, patience, and integration with modern medicine bring the best results

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
