Preface

When a cancer patient comes to an Ayurveda practitioner with hope, they are often in a dilemma for its management. Many times, I searched books for the queries I had. In such a discussion, all had the same thought of writing a book on Cancer, which gives the basic information on Cancer from Ayurveda's perspective.

In the present world of increasing cancer prevalence, it is essential to have some alternative to prevent it and take care of the side effects of current treatment.

To help the practitioner and Ayurveda academician clear the Ayurveda concepts about Cancer, we came up with the book Cancer Medicine in an Ayurvedic Perspective: A Critical Overview. This book comprises nine chapters. It covered the Ayurveda perspective of understanding the etiopathogenesis of Cancer and its preventive and curative aspect. We sincerely hope that this book will help build confidence in the Ayurved fraternity to help cancer patients.

We would appreciate it if any discrepancy/deficiency which might have remained is brought to our notice. We also welcome suggestions for further improvement of the book.
