Cancer- An Ayurvedic Perspective

Bhagvad Geeta Chapter 6, Verse 5 The Lord says "Elevate yourself through your own efforts and don't degrade yourself. For, the mind can be the friend and the enemy of the self". The one who understands the above phrase can win any battle of life. Today in this blog I am going to tell you a story of a real-life hero - " MEHUL VYAS " who made the above quote real. The miracle man who won the battle of life, himself wrote his destiny, changed the path of death with his positivity and will power. This man has raised a hope of life in the hearts of all the people fighting cancer. 2014 - Cancer knocks on his door. Mehul started losing weight, his voice became hoarse, and he had pain while swallowing and breathing. Was unable to sleep because of fear of not waking up. He kept taking antibiotics from local clinics but the problem gradually increased. As the days passed his condition started becoming worse. Finally, after the doctor's pe

Dr komal behl Time matters a lot- Ayurveda- Balancing Tridosha You do exercise, follow a proper diet chart to remain healthy. All these efforts are appreciable but what if we modify our life style , eating habbits and diet according to season. Time matters a lot !! Ayurveda says about Tridosha ,means there are 3 doshas that is vata, pitta and kapha . Vata regulates our nervous system, pitta works for our digestive systema and Kapha is meant for respiratory system. Rotation of earth also rotates the prominency of these doshas. As the season changes like from November to February when the air is cold and dry ,vata dosha becomes prominent in the environment. We focus on keeping it in balance by adapting diet and life style suitable for vata dosha. Similarly from July to October when weather is hot , pitta becomes prominent and from March to June when its cold and wet, kapha accumulates in the air. Adapting routine according to doshas will keep your body physiologically in equillibr

Dr.Komal behl 12-03-21 Meditation is the most powerful technique to win the war of life. The motive of this blog is to make you aware about the connection between meditation and astrology. What ever problem we have in life wheather its related to our body , mind ,relationship etc, somewhere we believe that the effect of planets is involved in it. Planets affect us and we suffer from hard situations in life. People do remedies like wearing different stones , chanting mantras to downregulate this planetary effect. Its true that planets do affect us but upto some extent.Means they do have limits. The rays of planets affect our body, mind, breath. It stops here and cannot go beyond this. When we do meditation, we can go beyond time and space where this planetary effect cannot go. Human mind has a tendency to oscillate between past and future. Every individual on earth either involves in the past or worried about future. Practice of mediation help us to be in present. Thoughts are lik

Dr.komal behl 10-03-21 We define Cancer as an uncontrolled proliferation (division) of cells leading to the formation of tumor .But how these cells manage for nutrition and oxygen for their growth and and division? If these rapidly dividing cells do not get oxygen and nutrition then their division will get slow down and they will die. These cancer cells are very smart, they manage to develop a network of blood and lymph vessels around them to get oxygen and nutrients from the blood and give back waste material through lymph vessels. This process of development of new blood vessels is called Angiogenesis. Tumor growth and its metastasis( spread) depends on angiogenesis .There are certain angiogenetic factors which stimulate the process of Angiogenesis. Normally this process includes few steps: 1.Tissue has basement membrane of endothelial cells 2.Basement membrane got injured which causes destruction and hypoxia(oxygen deficiency) 3.This causes angiog

Why me?What i have done so wrong that I deserve to suffer from this deadly disease called cancer? These are some of the most common questions that comes in the mind of a person diagnosed with cancer. In this blog, I will discuss about the feelings and emotions of a cancer survivor through which he/she goes during this journey.  I have gone through many cancer stories. Anger is one of the most common emotion from which a cancer patient suffer. When we come to know that finally we are having cancer, feeling of fear,anxiety, depression comes in us.We try to keep it in our heart thinking that we can manage it by ourselves and try to become strong for the treatment of our illness. But somewhere these feelings make their way out in the form of anger.We consider anger as a negative emotion and try to hide it.But when the battle chooses you then occurence of this emotion should be considered very  genuine. Its absolutely fine to let out this emotion but in a safe way, on your loved ones who do

 Surfing internet has become an important part of daily life,sometimes more important than eating food.If i talk about health related problems,I can say,today almost everyone is alert about medical awareness. Today when a patient visits a doctor,he/she already have enough information about the health related problem he/she is suffering from, even sometimes the person lands to the doctor with diagnosis. All I mean to say is that everybody knows a lot about diseases and treatment. But even then there are  some ongoing researches that give us a shock when we come to know about it. Everybody knows about anemia,its causes and treatment.Sometimes we take iron supplement, folic acid at home by ourselves without any doctor's prescription.We take it likely but its difficult to believe that recent researches have shown how Anemia has majorly contributed for cancer formation.  A research-PLOS ONE,done in March 2017 has concluded that iron deficiency anemia increases the risk of almost all typ
