UNDERSTANDING CANCER PATHOLOGY UNDER THE LIGHT OF DOOSHIVISHA

Abstract

We are living in the ocean of chemicals. Our body gets exposed to several kinds of toxins in little quantity regularly through Viruddhahara (unwholesome food), long term usage of drugs as medicines for chronic diseases, addiction to alcohol, Tobacco, Environmental toxins, Occupational toxins, Agricultural toxins etc. These toxins which are considered to be carcinogensgradually accumulate & remain in the body for long duration. This is called as cumulative toxicity. If they are not eliminated timely & properly, they will be in quiescent or latent form and will not be potent enough to cause acute ill effects. In due course, they target over any of the Dhatus or tissues in the body to present with a disease in future. This samprapti is similar to the cancer pathology wherein the signs & symptoms of the cancer patients depend upon the cell, tissue, organ or the system of involvement. The detail understanding is dealt here in this article.
