Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The major conventional therapy in modern medicine includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy with or without surgery. It is well known that these therapies apart from their therapeutic effects are not devoid of side effects and complications. Further these side effects and complications may not allow the patients to complete the required cycles of radio/chemotherapies or may lead to life threatening conditions. Also it is found that there is considerable reduction in the quality of life during the course of these therapies. Ayurveda gives a promising result in reducing the side effects during these therapies and also helps to continue and complete further required cycles of chemo/radio therapy with minimal sufferings. A diagnosed case of ovarian cancer (stage4) with ongoing radiotherapy developed Hepatitis B was referred to hospital for the management of Hepatitis. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic formulations – Arogyavardhini Vati, Tab. Nirocil, NABB swarasa and Tab. Liv- 52 which completely relieved Hepatitis and also found effective in reducing the side effects in the further course of radio and chemotherapies.
