ABSTRACT
Changed dietary habit, pollution, industrialization, sedentary life style and stress, are the factors responsible for development of so many fatal diseases now a days. Cancer is one of the most dreadful amongst them. Many efforts have been taken but success is still far, thats why terror of disease is bigger than the disease. Cancer is not new term to Ayurveda. Our great trio (Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita, Ashtang Samgraha) had already described about the disease. Acharya Sushrut has mentioned the Granthi and Arbuda which has resemblances with the clinical entity of cancer. The descriptions regarding this disease are available in a scattered form, there is a need to compile this information collectively in systemic manner that may help us in understanding the etiology, pathology and the management of the disease in a better way. It is evident that early Ayurvedic physicians had a good understanding of etiology, clinical manifestations, symptoms, classifications, malignant and benign nature of tumors, metastasis, recurrence, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Astrocytomas are a type of cancer of the brain. A case 37 year old female Mrs. Pappu Devi having low grade Astrocytoma(grade 2) presented with the symptoms of headache and vomiting since 4-5 years who has treated with ayurvedic treatment got good improvement in various parameters as discussed here.
Keywords: Astrocytoma, Nidan, Samprapti and Ayurvedic management.
