Natural Cancer Care in India: A Comparative Analysis

down-arrow
January 02, 2019
 

Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases these days and has been plaguing different segments of human population since a long time. Cancer is caused due to a malignant growth in the cell structure that grows to the tissue level and spreads to other parts of the body, if not diagnosed and treated at an early stage. Earlier, cancer was thought to be a fatal disease with little hopes of recovery. However, today owing to the extensive research and development and due to the modern medical insights, the survival rate has drastically improved. However, despite this if not detected at the earliest, the chances of survival are quite low. Besides, in India the costs involved in cancer treatment are humungous and elaborate treatment measures are involved. Once detected, the whole procedure for treatment is very extensive and costly, involving various therapy sessions, extensive hospitalization, even surgical procedures and a long time till full recuperation.

The burden that this puts on the familys finances is immense and sometimes, the funds reserved for important life goals have to be spent on the treatment. Alongside the medical research, another alternate body of research has been taking place since several decades and this is the domain of natural cure. Ancient wellness treatises like the Ayurveda lay emphasis on the importance of health and longevity through natural connections and holistic approaches. The stress is on prevention of diseases like cancer and on making the internal systems of the body immune and strong. Unlike the traditional medical approach, this field of study does not cure the symptoms but believes in uprooting the very cause of diseases.

India, being the land where many of these ancient pieces of knowledge were expounded, is also the land where holistic approach is considered to be the best. This means endorsing a lifestyle based on natural outlook, with focus on all round development of the physical and mental faculties and attaining pure health through long lasting natural modes and not artificially. Such a holistic system lays emphasis on:

  1. Proper diet: The diet has to be wholesome, easily digestible and full of diverse nutrients. Hard to digest or food containing heavy amount of oils, unhealthy fats etc must be avoided.
  2. Proper exercise: Exercising makes the body revitalized and helps the body n eliminating the toxins. It also makes the internal faculties healthy and strong with boosted immunity and increased functionality. Exercises like yoga actually have been proven to have a profoundly positive impact on the mind as well the body and it is a known fact today that yoga acts as a barrier between the diseases and the physiological system.
  3. Proper lifestyle: This, in effect, means a proper, balanced lifestyle without the ill effects of chronic stress, unhealthy habits, and unnecessary physical impediments. A lifestyle choice based on natural roots is sure to make a persons health bloom and increase the bodys natural immunity.
  4. Holistic existence: This imbibes the wholesome positive effects of meditation and a general positive outlook towards life.
