Ayurveda, is a holistic system of health care that has its roots in India. Ayurveda also offers a great alternative to manage the disorder naturally. Being a natural treatment, it does not cause any side effects. Ayurveda believes that any of the health problem results from the aggravation of any of the doshas which are regarded as the life forces or energies of the body. The treatment involves the balancing of that aggravated dosha by herbs. And herbs are the nature's best gift to the mankind.

According to Ayurveda, formation of tumor takes place due to the vitiation of Kapha and vata dosha. Vata dosha is responsible for the improper and faulty division of cells while Kapha dosha is responsible for the growth of tumor cells.
