The thyroid gland regulates human hormone production, a crucial organ component. Thyroid gland cancer can happen. In many places around the world, bad things are getting worse. Surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are treatments in the present health facilities. However, people use natural medicines because they function better and last longer. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, has a somewhat different opinion on thyroid cancer and its genesis, which is described as being associated with the imbalance of three doshas in the human body. This blog will attempt to explain some basic Ayurveda cures for thyroid cancer: food treatment, lifestyle alteration, herbal remedies, and Rasayana therapy.
Thyroid Cancer in Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, thyroid cancer is associated with disturbances in two of the body’s doshas—Kapha and Vata. Kapha is the work of diffusion and elimination, and Vata is the work of movement. When there is an excess of Kapha in the body, lumps and growths develop; in the case of excess Vata, cells do not work thoroughly. The doshas mentioned above are changed by cleaning the body, returning it to its normal state, and enriching the immune system.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Thyroid Cancer Causes
From the point of view of Ayurveda, thyroid cancer might happen because of bad eating habits, worry, and living an imperfect life that impacts doshas. This can happen if you eat too many foods that worsen Kapha, like dairy products, heavy foods, and oily foods, or if you don’t move enough or are mentally stressed for long periods. Toxins that cause cancer and other toxins are thought to block the flow of energy pathways, which can lead to the growth of carcinomas.
Ayurveda also says that issues like sadness or anger that are pushed down can be significant causes of thyroid problems. The patient’s treatment considers their physical, psychological, and emotional conditions.
Ayurvedic Herbs for Managing Thyroid Cancer
Ayurveda provides a range of powerful vegetables and spices that help the thyroid gland function and destroy cancerous cells. Kanchanar has potent anti-tumor effects; thus, it is prescribed for treating thyroid cancer to dissipate Kapha lesions in the body. Ashwagandha is a well-known adaptogen and thyroid regulator, particularly useful in hypothyroid patients, and it strengthens immunity.
Being one of the articles of faith in the Ayurvedic system of medicine, guggul is widely used in treating thyroid disorders, and swelling and inflammation of the thyroid gland is another area of application of the herb. The three fruits known as Triphala in Ayurveda purify and cleanse the body, including the gastrointestinal tract, optimally preparing it to digest the nutrients the cancer patient requires. This botanical has the potential to modulate the immune response, has actions against cancerous cells, and has the effect of oxidative states.
Rasayana Therapy for Immune Support
One of the essential components of the treatment under Ayurveda for cancer, particularly thyroid carcinoma, is the Rasayana therapy, which is in totality associated with the concept of ‘rejuvenation.’’ This treatment enhances the body’s overall immunity and accelerates various physiological healing procedures. Rasayana treatment is preventive and employs several techniques to nurture and rejuvenate the affected tissues. It also gives the body more stamina and zeal to destroy cancerous agents.
The therapy aims to improve the body’s general health by focusing on physical and mental health. Chyawanprash is another essential part of our preparation. It is a well-known Ayurvedic tonic used internationally to promote health and physical strength. Chyawanprash contains vitamins and other strengthening nutrients that help individuals build immunity to prevent diseases.
Amla is another necessary component. Its high vitamin C antioxidant value makes it a favorite choice. Amla can help you eliminate toxins, heal you, and fight free radicals that can kill cancer cells.
Shatavari, a substance with adaptogenic properties, is another essential part of Rasayana treatment. It makes you feel better, heals your body’s cells after being sick or stressed, and keeps your endocrine glands stable. Rasayana therapy works well with other types of Ayurvedic treatment. It helps with long-term treatment, extending a person’s life, mental rejuvenation at the molecular level, and finding out what causes thyroid cancer.
Lifestyle Modifications and Yoga
According to Ayurveda, treatment aims to alter the internal milieu of tissues to ‘cure’ the disease. This is perhaps especially important for thyroid cancer patients. On this front, we require a system that helps reduce Kapha and Vata, as shown below. It is pertinent here to name Paleo’s diet, which is a compromise, advising people to eat fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and steer clear of processed products, refined sugars, and dairy products. Any food prepared should be hot and taken with spices such as turmeric, cumin, and ginger because they have hormonal balancing effects, particularly on the thyroid dosha, and contain anti-inflammatory substances.
Due to this, types of exercise like yogasanas can be prescribed along with the change in food proposed by Ayurveda. Sarvangasana and Matsyasana are asanas that directly influence the thyroid glands and blood circulation. Another form of pranayama is Ujjayi Pranayama, also referred to as the Victorious Breath; it assists the individual in regulating their breathing, diminishes the amount of stress that an individual has to endure, and affects the general health of a person.
Mindfulness and meditation, on the other hand, must be done every day to control stress and improve mental health. These practices also help with three things: first, getting rid of the fear that comes with being sick; second, lowering worry; and third, maintaining a positive outlook, all of which are very important for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. That is why Ayurveda tries to create the best conditions for healing by caring for the patient’s physical and mental problems.
The Importance of Emotional Healing
Ayurveda says that people are complicated and that health means that a person’s physical, mental, and spiritual parts are balanced. As part of Ayurvedic medicine, healing emotions is a big part of helping people with cancer. In particular, thyroid cancer has been linked to feeling and talking about repressed emotions and not being able to use one’s voice. Even though Ayurvedic therapy doesn’t say to write in a book, talk to a counselor, or do spiritual work to get rid of bottled-up feelings, many people do these things anyway.
Additionally, chanting and mantra meditation are thought to have special healing effects on the thyroid. Even if people only chant with their voices, their sound waves will help stimulate the thyroid gland and improve communication between the mind and body.
Conclusion
In Ayurveda, treating thyroid cancer doesn’t involve surgery or medicine. Instead, it’s done in a way that naturally heals the disease without any drugs or surgery. It also treats the diseases that lead to thyroid cancer. From this, we can see that Ayurveda can help us get healthy and robust by balancing our doshas, getting rid of toxins, and using Rasayana treatment on our tissues. If you have thyroid cancer, Ayurveda can help you feel better by changing your lifestyle, using herbs, and giving you mental support. It is one of the oldest ways to treat cancer. Sometimes, you should talk to a trained Ayurvedic practitioner, but these techniques can help people look for a different way to treat their health problems.
