Nasopharyngeal Cancer Ayurvedic Treatment

The growth of cancer cells in the nasopharynx can either be benign or malignant. The non-cancerous or benign tumours can be found in young adults and children and are quite rare. Angiofibromas and haemangiomas, two small blood vessels, undergo growth in this type of cancer. The benign tumours of minor salivary glands can also be found in the nasopharynx.

Among malignant nasopharyngeal tumours, these are some of the major types:

• Keratinising Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  The squamous cells are found in the lining of the nose, mouth, throat, and larynx. The presence of keratin in the cancer cells defines this type of cancer.

• Non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma

  This is the most commonly occurring form of nasopharynx cancer in the body. There is an absence of keratin in the cancer cells.

• Basaloid squamous cell cancer

  It is a rare type of cancer and an aggressive variant for sure. Most of them may be caused due to long-term exposure to UV rays.

Once the doctor has confirmed that the patient is suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer through diagnosis, he or she determines the level of complexity. This is termed staging.

• Stage 0

  This is called carcinoma in situ which means that it is the area of origin of the abnormal cell division.

• Stage 1

  This is basically the early stage or primary stage where the infection has not spread to the surrounding parts.

• Stage 2

  At stage 2, the cancer cells may have just begun to start spreading in areas like lymph nodes. However, the distant body parts remain unaffected.

• Stages 3 and 4
  • These are the advanced stages where the cancer cells spread through the lymphatic system to distant parts as well as the surrounding tissues.
  • If nasopharyngeal cancer returns even after the treatment, the condition is termed recurrent cancer.

Untreated tonsillar cancer will result in gradual growth and invasion of local structures. Invasion of the lateral pterygoid muscle, pterygoid plates, lateral nasopharynx, skull base and encasement around the carotid is suggestive of unresectable T4b disease in p16 negative cancers. Therefore, proper precautionary measures must be taken to ensure good oral health.

How Ayurveda Diagnoses and Treats Nasopharyngeal Cancer?

A severe Pitta-Kapha imbalance in the Urdhva Jatrukta (head and neck region), Nasopharyngeal cancer that grows in the upper throat behind the nose, is commonly associated with in Ayurveda. These doshas can get aggravated by long-term exposure to an irritant, toxin, or even suppressed emotions, causing inflammation, congestion, and eventually tissue damage. An assessment in Ayurveda looks at breathing, smell, sinus health, digestion, and stress load.

Herbal treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer involves clearing the area and restoring harmony. Nasya (nasal oil therapy) is a go-to treatment; medicated oils like Anu Taila or Shadbindu oil are applied through the nostrils to cleanse the nasal passages and sinuses. Internally, herbs like Tulsi, Pippali, Trikatu, and Turmeric are used to clear mucus, reduce inflammation, and stimulate healing. The diet avoids dairy, cold foods, and anything that can clog sinuses—instead, warm broths, herbal teas, and spicy soups are recommended. Breathwork (especially alternate nostril breathing) and meditation are brought in to help reduce emotional congestion. Ayurveda doesn’t look at this cancer as just a disease of the nose; it’s a message that something deeper needs clearing, physically and energetically.
