About us
About CANCER AYU CARE
CANCER AYU CARE is the supportive-care service of AMRUT AYU CARE™, an Ayurvedic clinic and Panchakarma centre in Pune run by Dr. Prashant Amrutkar and Dr. Amruta Amrutkar.
We help people during and after chemotherapy, radiation and surgery with appetite, sleep, digestion, energy and comfort. Your oncologist stays in charge of your treatment. We work alongside them.
Working with your oncologist
You continue under your oncologist. Our Ayurvedic care is coordinated with, and subject to, your treating oncology team.
Never start any Ayurvedic Medicine during chemotherapy or radiation without your oncologist and our doctor reviewing it together.

How we work with your oncology team
Every plan starts with your current treatment plan and medicine list. Our doctor suggests support around your treatment days, and nothing new starts until your oncologist and our doctor review it together.
Call your oncologist first
A new lump, unexplained bleeding or weight loss, persistent pain, breathlessness, or fever during chemotherapy needs your oncologist or emergency care first.
