| Abstract: Cancer is one of the most dreaded disease of 20th century and spreading further with continuance and increasing incidence in 21st century. Any practical solution in combating this dreadful disease is of paramount importance. No cure should be hazardous than the disease, however chemotherapy opposes this principle and it further worsens the crippled cancer patients with its side effects. Therefore an integrated approach is needed to manage cancer and the chemotherapy induced side effects. At this stage Ayurveda offers Rasayana as the best tool to manage the chemotherapy induced toxicities like nausea, vomiting, alopecia and myelosuppression. | |
| Key words: Cancer, chemotherapy, toxicity, rasayana avaleha | |
