Q. Does Ayurveda have any treatment for multiple myeloma?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Ayurveda is a holistic medical system that has been in use for over 5,000 years. It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a balance between body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveda utilizes herbal remedies, nutrition advice, lifestyle changes such as yoga and meditation to help achieve this balance.
When it comes to multiple myeloma, Ayurvedic medicine may be able to offer support for alleviating symptoms associated with the condition. Ayurvedic physicians suggest certain herbs like ashwagandha and guduchi that can reduce inflammation in the body which could potentially relieve pain caused by multiple myeloma. Additionally they may recommend dietary changes such as avoiding processed food or adding healing spices like turmeric into meals which have anti-inflammatory properties that could also assist in symptom relief of multiple myeloma patients. Making sure to get enough restful sleep at night is another recommendation that ayruvedic practitioners make as sleep helps repair tissue damage caused by radiation treatments and other side effects of chemotherapy drugs used to treat multiple myeloma patients.
Ayruvida also emphasizes life style modifications such as yoga or pranayama (breath control) practices since it has been shown these activities are useful for cancer recovery programs . Other adadditional therapies such as abhyanga massage therapy , shirodhara treatment can also aid with relaxation from stress related fatigue often experienced by Multiple Myeloma Patients. As more research continues around treating Multiple Myloema via alternate forms of medicine it will be interesting to see how using an ayurevdic approach may prove beneficial with long term management plans going forward .
