Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Fibroidenomas of breast are benign tumours characterised by an admixture of stromal and epithelial tissue. Basing upon the sign and symptoms, Saumya Arbuda of Stana can be correlated with fibroadenoma of breast. Inconvenience for operative procedure, poor cardio-respiratory assessment, unfitness for surgery and anaesthesia both etc are the causes to select medical management for breast fibroidenoma. Classical Ayurvedic treatment is having potential role in the management of Saumya Arbuda of Stana. This case was studied to understand the role of Ayurvedic medications in the management of Saumya Arbuda of Stana i.e. Fibroidenoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Known case of fibroadennoma was enrolled for the study from OPD, SRPT Department, PD Patel Ayurved Hospital, Nadiad, and was treated with Kanchnaar Guggulu, Varunadi Kwath and Dashanga Lepa.
