What Is Brain Tumour?

A diagnosis like a brain tumor can feel like your world has been turned upside down. But as overwhelming as it might seem, there are holistic approaches, like Ayurveda, that focus on healing beyond the disease itself. Ayurveda treats illness by understanding the imbalances in our doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and how those imbalances manifest in different parts of the body. In the case of a brain tumor, Ayurvedic care aims to reduce toxicity, support the nervous system, and restore the natural balance of the body.

Ayurvedic medicine for brain tumors uses specific herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Shankhpushpi to nourish the brain, enhance cognitive function, and reduce inflammation. These herbs have been used for centuries to promote mental clarity and neurological health. Therapies such as Nasya (nasal detox), Shirodhara, and Panchakarma work to detoxify and revitalize the mind-body system. Ayurveda also emphasizes a calm, nourishing lifestyle with proper sleep, sattvic food, and stress-relieving practices like yoga and meditation to support the healing journey.

What are the risks and causes of Brain Tumour?

Professionals are not sure what the exact causes of most brain tumours are. Defects or mutations in genes may cause cells in the brain to grow uncontrollably and cause cancer. Some brain tumours occur when hereditary conditions are passed down from one generation to another.

You have a higher risk for brain tumours if you have a close relative who has had a brain tumour. Exposure to large amounts of radiation from X-rays or previous cancer treatment is the only known environmental cause of brain tumours. You may have a high risk of a brain tumour if you have one of these rare syndromes, including:

  • Turner syndrome
  • Turcot syndrome
  • neurofibromatosis type 1 and type 2
  • Tuberous sclerosis (TSC)
  • Li-Fraumeni syndrome
  • Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL)
  • Gorlin syndrome.

What are the types of Brain Tumour?

Different types of brain tumour include:

  • Acoustic Neuroma (Schwannomas): These are generally benign tumours that develop on cranial nerves that control balance and hearing sensation from your inner ear to the brain.
  • Pituitary Adenomas:These tumours develop in the pituitary gland present at the base of the brain. These tumours can affect the pituitary hormones throughout the body.
  • Meningiomas:A Meningiomas is a brain tumour that arises from the membrane surrounding your brain tissue and spinal cord (meninges).
  • Medulloblastomas : These are cancerous brain tumours, most common in children. A medulloblastoma starts in the lower back part of the brain and tends to spread through the cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Germ cell tumours: Germ cell tumours may develop during childhood when the reproductive organs form. But sometimes, these tumours affect other body parts, including the central nervous system, such as the brain.
  • Craniopharyngiomas: Craniopharyngiomas are a rare type of non-cancerous (benign tumours) and begin near the brain's pituitary gland, which secretes hormones that control many body functions. As a craniopharyngioma slowly grows, it can affect the process of the pituitary gland and nearby brain parts.

How Ayurveda Diagnoses and Treats Brain Tumor?

Ayurveda doesn’t really talk about “brain tumors” the way modern medicine does, but it does recognize growths in the head area as serious disorders of Kapha and Vata, especially when mental clarity and motor functions start slipping. Practitioners look at the whole nervous system, digestion, and even emotional trauma. A brain tumor, in Ayurvedic terms, is seen as the result of blocked channels (srotas) in the head and nervous tissue, where toxins and stagnant energy collect. Diagnosis involves reading your pulse, checking your tongue and eyes, and asking about your sleep, memory, emotions, and digestion; it’s all connected.

Treatment focuses on clearing those blockages and balancing the doshas affecting the brain. Medhya Rasayanas, herbs that support brain function, like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Vacha are often used. Nasya therapy, where medicated oils are administered through the nose, is huge for this because it's believed to clear toxins from the brain and sinuses. They also bring in calming practices to ease mental stress; daily Abhyanga (oil massage), meditation, and specific pranayamas. Ayurvedic brain tumor treatment won't replace surgery or chemo for something like a brain tumor, but it’s often used to support healing, reduce swelling, and help the nervous system recover. It’s a long, gentle journey that tries to bring harmony back to a system that’s been overwhelmed for way too long.

What Are The Complications of Brain Tumour?

Your brain is responsible for every function of your body, including sight, hearing, speech, and movement. As brain cancer grows, it puts pressure on and damages the areas that control these things.This can lead to complications such as headaches, seizures, vision and hearing loss, and balance problems.

With the help of brain-boosting herbs like Brahmi and Vacha, and mind-soothing therapies like Shirodhara and Panchakarma, the Ayurvedic approach works to cleanse, calm, and strengthen.

Amrita

Hi, Amrita here and I am sharing my impression w.r.t Karma Ayurveda on their treatment of brain tumor. My maternal aunt was diagnosed with this disease last year. Since she was allergic towards clinical treatments, my neighborhood uncle advised an ayurvedic hospital named Karma Ayurveda. The doctors were friendly and they put together a diet plan, along with certain herbs to counter the symptoms. The symptoms like dizziness, headache etc. have subsided and her overall health has seen an improvement because of a curated diet. Kudos to Karma Ayurveda!

Hi, I am Rishav from Pitampura. My grandmother had developed early-stage symptoms of brain tumor. I had visited Karma Ayurveda 2 years back for my friend's ailments and she had positive views about that clinic. So, upon my recommendation, my aunt paid a visit to Karma Ayurveda. Dr. Puneet gave her a treatment plan that included herbs and certain dietary changes. Her condition has shown slow and steady progress. Kudos to Karma Ayurveda.

Sheena

My name is Sheena and I live in Shalimar Bagh. My mother had been suffering from Acoustic Neuroma. We were already familiar with Karma Ayurveda, as its quite a known name in our area, so we visited the hospital at the earliest. The ayurvedic herbs recommended by Dr. Puneet has significantly addressed the symptoms of my mom. The only issue is that the recovery has been on the slower side. Just hope she recovers fully soon.
