2.Address cancer prevention: Ayurveda emphasizes prevention through lifestyle modifications, diet, and stress management, which can help reduce cancer risk.

3.Improve quality of life: Ayur Oncology focuses on alleviating cancer symptoms, side effects, and emotional distress, enhancing patients’ overall well-being.

4.Offer personalized treatment: Ayurveda’s individualized approach considers patients’ unique constitution (Prakriti), medical history, and lifestyle, allowing for tailored treatment plans.

5. Enhance cancer treatment outcomes: Ayur Oncology may help improve treatment response, reduce recurrence rates, and increase survival rates when used in conjunction with conventional therapies.

6.Reduce treatment side effects: Ayurvedic treatments can help mitigate chemotherapy and radiation side effects, improving patients’ comfort and tolerance.

Ayur Oncology is a holistic Approach to Cancer Care. It is a fusion of Ayurveda and Oncology, which offers a comprehensive and supportive approach to cancer management.
