Trials to develop yoga, ayurveda as alternative to cancer treatment soon

To develop alternative treatment options for cancer patients, Tata Memorial Hospital ,will soon start using ayurveda and yoga. The hospital has tied up with the Ministry of Ayush to conduct two trials on ayurvedic medicine for treatment of ovarian cancer. The first study will look at whether the use of ayurvedic medicines can reduce the relapse rate of ovarian cancer. The second trial will monitor whether ayurvedic medicines can reduce side-effects of neuropathy (nerve damage) caused by existing allopathic medicines in ovarian cancer patients. The hospital is planning to acquire land to grow medicinal plants near its Kharghar facility to conduct more research. The hospital is also conducting a clinical trial to assess whether yoga, done alongside conventional treatment, can help improve a patient’s health.
