Supportive care
Supportive Ayurvedic care, during and after treatment
Supportive care helps with the things treatment makes hard: eating, sleeping, digestion, energy and comfort. It sits alongside the plan your oncology team has made, and never replaces any part of it.
Most people start with diet and daily routine. Our doctor suggests where to begin after looking at your treatment plan.
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.
Six areas of support
During chemotherapy and radiation
Appetite, nausea, tiredness, sleep, mouth care, digestion and worry, planned around your treatment days.
Alongside treatment: your oncologist is informed, and any Ayurvedic Medicine is reviewed jointly first.
Diet (Pathya)
Pathya means a suitable diet. Indian and Maharashtrian home meals for low appetite, mouth sores and a sensitive stomach, with recipes for the family cook.
Alongside treatment: food for comfort and strength, planned with your treatment in mind.
Daily routine (Dinacharya)
Dinacharya means daily routine. Sleep, gentle yoga, Pranayama (breathing practice) and a steady daily rhythm.
Alongside treatment: activity levels cleared by your treating team.
Strength in recovery (Rasayana)
Rasayana means rejuvenation care. Rebuilding strength, appetite and Ojas (vital strength) after treatment.
Alongside treatment: begins once your oncologist agrees that active treatment is complete.
Life after treatment
Weight, energy, sleep and routine in the months and years after treatment ends.
Alongside treatment: honest support for the worry that often stays. We make no promises about the cancer returning.
Comfort care
Sleep, appetite, calm and dignity for the person and the family.
Alongside treatment: works with your palliative care team, never instead of palliative or hospice care.
Caring for someone in treatment? Practical guidance on meals, routines and rest for the person who looks after everyone else. For caregivers
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.
