I understand how stressful this is for you and your mother. Since her breast cancer has progressed to involve the breast, armpit, and now a lesion near the neck, this is an advanced stage. In Ayurveda, there are supportive and palliative approaches, but I need to be honest: Ayurveda alone cannot guarantee curing advanced breast cancer. It can, however Reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation Support immunity and general strength Improve quality of life Here’s a safe, simple Ayurvedic approach that can help her supportively, while monitoring closely. Chyawanprash (preferably sugar-free) 1 tsp twice daily With warm milk Immunity support Ashwagandha churna 1 tsp at night With warm milk Strength, stamina Guduchi powder 1 tsp twice daily With honey or warm water Detox, immunity Turmeric (Curcumin) powder 1 tsp twice daily With warm milk Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant Rasayana formulation (like Brahma Rasayana / Sukshma Rasayana) 1 tsp once daily As per Ayurvedic doctor General rejuvenation These are general supportive medicines, not anti-cancer drugs Kanchanar Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily after food (classical tumor-support medicine) Diet & Lifestyle Eat warm, cooked, easy-to-digest food Avoid frozen, processed, oily, and very sweet food Include green vegetables, turmeric, ginger, garlic Gentle walking or light yoga if she can Avoid stress, maintain good sleep Keep track of lumps and any new symptoms Check pain, swelling, ulceration, discharge If sudden rapid growth, bleeding, severe pain, difficulty breathing, allopathy care is urgent
-Your mother’s cancer appears advanced, with breast, armpit, and neck involvement. At this stage, Ayurveda or homeopathy alone cannot control the disease, though they may help with fatigue, appetite, and strength. - we can plan for leech therapy and raktmokshan but for that - need personal consultation with specialized panchkarma doctor along with that other herbs can be started but not without seeing their condition. - proper examination is must before starting the treatment
It’s better to consult your nearest Ayurved Hospital for better management.
Hello I get how tough and scary it is seeing your mom suffer and not want regular cancer treatments. It’s clear you care a lot about finding the best way to help her. I want to give you an honest, caring, and clear view of what’s going on from both an Ayurveda and medical point of view. What’s Happening with Your Mom From what you’ve said: – A main lump in her breast – It’s moved to the lymph nodes under her arm – A new spot near her neck – She’s starting to feel pain – She’s losing weight This points to breast cancer that’s getting worse and spreading through her lymphatic system.In Ayurveda, this looks like an Arbuda/Granthi in her breast, messing with her Rakta, Mamsa, and Kapha, and now causing Vata problems because she’s in pain, losing weight, and it’s spreading.This isn’t just a local thing anymore; it’s affecting her whole system Can Ayurveda Fix This Kind of Breast Cancer? I need to keep it real: ❌ Ayurveda alone can’t cure breast cancer that’s spread this far. ❌ Things like homeopathy won’t turn this around either. But, here’s what Ayurveda can do: – Ease her pain – Slow down how fast it’s getting worse –Help her eat better, feel stronger, and sleep well – Lower swelling – Boost her immune system – Make her life better overall Work with regular cancer treatments if you choose that path However, don’t anticipate a complete cure at this stage without regular treatments. **Why the Lump Grew Even with Homeopathy:: Cancer cells are sneaky and multiply without you noticing. Without surgery, chemo, or radiation, they just keep spreading through the blood and lymph. The lump under her arm means it’s moved to the lymph nodes. The spot on her neck suggests it’s spreading even further. Pain and weight loss are signs that it’s advanced. What Ayurveda Can Really Do Now Ayurveda can offer Palliative and Supportive Cancer Care. What we’re aiming for now: – Lessen pain – Less Inflammation – Keep the tumor from growing too fast – Help her liver – Get her digestion working better – Keep her comfortable and respect her dignity A Solid Ayurveda Plan to Help Fight Cancer INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Kanchanar Guggulu: 2 tablets, twice a day after meals 2. Triphala Guggulu: 2 tablets, twice a day 3 Guduchi Satva: 500 mg, twice a day 4.Curcurmed 1 tablet, twice a day 5. Ashwagandha churna: ½ tsp, twice a day with warm milk or water These things help to: – Reduce swelling in the tumor – Boost the immune system – Lower swelling in the lymph nodes – Get her strength back *Protect Her Liver& (This is super important) Cancer toxins are hard on the liver. 1 Bhumyamalaki churna: ½ tsp, twice a day For Pain & Nerves 1 Bala Ashwagandhadi Taila Gently rub it on her breast, armpit, and neck every day 2. Yograj Guggulu: 1 tablet, twice a day if she’s in more pain DIET PLAN AVOID – Sugar – Dairy – Fried stuff – Packaged junk – Meat INCLUDE – Vegetable soups – Turmeric – Garlic – Green veggies – Pomegranate –Warm water – Light khichdi The Most Important Thing to Know (Please Pay Attention) Your mom is in a serious situation now. Ayurveda can: – Support her – Ease her suffering –Make her life better But it can’t replace cancer treatment at this point. If she still says no to regular medicine, then Ayurveda should be used to make her comfortable, not to give false hopes of a cure. You’re doing everything you can for your mom. What matters most now is that she’s comfortable, feels respected, and has peace. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
As the lesion in the breast has increased and also she is suffering from the issue since 2 yrs so to say frankly it is slightly different thing to correct but we can manage the disease symptomatically So now u can start with Kanchanara Guggulu Tab 2 bd after food Vriddhivatika rasa tab 1-0-1 after food Triphala Guggulu Tab 2 bd after food Hinguvashtaka churna half teaspoon with warm water twice a day after food Dashamoola kashayam 20 ml twice a day after food Along with these medicines u need chemo or Radiation what the oncologist suggests to u Thank you
From the information provided the illness has progressed gradually over the last one and a half years with increase in breast lump involvement swelling in the underarm appearance of a small lesion near the neck weight loss and recent onset of pain This suggests that the disease is active and has started involving the lymphatic system and deeper tissues Ayurvedic treatment is possible in such situations but it must be taken in a supportive and realistic manner The aim of Ayurveda at this stage is to strengthen the body support immunity slow further progression reduce pain and improve comfort and quality of life Complete cure with Ayurveda alone in advanced conditions is usually not expected and this should be clearly understood Supportive Ayurvedic medicines that are commonly used include Kanchanar guggulu two tablets twice daily after food with warm water Ashwagandha capsule one capsule twice daily and Guduchi or Giloy capsule one capsule twice daily Turmeric in warm milk once daily can be taken if digestion permits Medicines should be continued only under supervision and adjusted according to tolerance Diet should be simple warm freshly prepared and nourishing Avoid sugar fried food packaged items bakery products and heavy dairy Focus on soft cooked vegetables soups fruits like pomegranate beetroot soaked almonds and adequate warm fluids Proper rest emotional reassurance and mental calmness are equally important as the mind and immunity are closely connected in such long standing illnesses
Hi… Not to worry You can go for Tab kanchnar guggulu-2 BD Tab arogyavardhini vati 2 BD Tab vruddhibadhika vati-2-BD But you must continue allopathy also For immunity Tab giloyghan vati -2 BD Syp liv cure -10 ml BD If possible chawyanprash with swarn yukta will increase her immunity and results are very good
