5 Best Breast Cancer Control Medicines in Ayurveda
The 5 best breast cancer control medicines in Ayurveda are:
Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory properties and keeps a check on free radicals inside our body. This minimizes the damage due to oxidative stress in the cells. This strengthens our body’s immune system.
Amalaki/Amla/Gooseberry: Amla has demonstrated excellent results in preventing damage to the level of cellular DNA structure. This fruit can lessen the free radical oxidation in sensitive tissues such as lungs, breasts, etc. Amalaki can reduce the activation of the pro-inflammatory cells in the body and reduce our chances of getting this cancer.
Turmeric/Haridra/Curcumin: Turmeric has been shown in animal and laboratory tests to delay the growth of cancerous cells in the body. This spice gives a massive boost to our immune system and helps reduce the damage caused by oxidative stress in the body.
Giloy/Guduchi: Giloy (Tinospora Cordifolia) is loaded with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. This herb can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in carcinogenic cells. In addition, it may inhibit the growth of tumors inside the body.
Kalmegh/Racha Vemu: Kalmegh (King of Bitter) has a cancerolytic effect, i.e. it targets and destroys cancer cells. Extracts from this herb may also strengthen our immune system. Kalmegh is often used with other herbs for the maximum benefit.
