Ayurveda can be beneficial for the treatment of cancer in a variety of ways, including supportive, curative, palliative, and curative aspects. Through a variety of pharmacokinetic mechanisms, Ayurvedic drugs aids in enhancing patients quality of life. Due to their medicinal effectiveness and few side effects, herbal medications are frequently used and have been shown to have anticancer effect.
