Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men globally, with approximately 1 in 8 men diagnosed during their lifetime. CNN – Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday 18th May 2025, and it has spread to his bones. While advancements in conventional treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have improved survival rates, many patients seek complementary therapies to manage symptoms and enhance quality of life. Enter Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing from India. This article explores how Ayurveda approaches prostate cancer, offering insights into its principles, treatments, and potential role in integrative care.
Prostate Cancer Through the Ayurvedic Lens
Ayurveda doesn’t classify diseases as “cancer” but identifies prostate issues as *Mootraghata* (urinary obstruction) or *Granthi* (abnormal growths). These are linked to aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas, poor digestion (*agni*), and toxin buildup (*ama*). Chronic inflammation, stress, and sedentary habits are seen as contributors. Prostate cancer, in this context, arises from long-standing imbalances and tissue (*dhatu*) degeneration. Various celebrities have healed their cancer by Ayurvedic treatments . Joe Biden must consider this line of therapy.
Ayurvedic Treatments for Prostate Cancer
1. **Herbal Remedies**
– Saptwinsati Guggulu with Mahamanjisthadi Kwath – Both togather are capable of any sort of wound healing including Cancerous wounds.
– Heerak Bhasm – Stops metastasis and cell growth. Rather is the main ayurvedic medicine for Cancer cure.
-Tamra Bhasm + Kapardak Bhasm, Kachnar Guggulu + Vridhi Vadhika Vati + decoction of Kachnar bark+Gorakhmundi+Mulethi – Dissolves all sort of abnormal glands. Still stringer is the Bhasm therapy involving Sila Sindoor, etc.
-Arwudantak Churn – Our own formula, contails Termeric, Aswagandha, Tulsi, Neem, Giloy, Satawari, Amla, Widhara, Pippali, Mulethi & more.
– Chandraprabha Vati & Gokshuradi Guggulu to support Urinary health and Prostate, nothing to do with Cancer.
2. **Diet and Nutrition**
– *Avoid*: Processed foods, red meat, and excessive salt or sugar, which aggravate Kapha and Vata.
– *Embrace*: Milk of sheep – drinking 50 ml twice daily. If you can afford and dare – drink once daily 100 ml fresh urine of Indian Cow that has hemp above its neck. Warm, cooked meals; cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale); tomatoes (rich in lycopene); and pumpkin seeds (high in zinc).
3. **Detoxification (Panchakarma)**
Therapies like *Basti* (medicated enema) and *Virechana* (purging) aim to eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation, and restore doshic balance. These are tailored to individual needs under expert supervision.
4. **Lifestyle Modifications**
– Daily exercise (e.g., yoga) to improve circulation.
– Stress management through meditation and breathing exercises (*pranayama*).
– Adequate sleep to support tissue repair. A cancer patient will not consider these as tedious process as the life is at stake – surely not Joe Biden -hopefully.
**Case Studies and Research**
While rigorous clinical trials on Ayurveda for prostate cancer are limited, anecdotal evidence and small studies highlight its supportive role:
– A 2018 study in *Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine* found that curcumin supplementation improved quality of life in prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation.
– An Ayurvedic clinic in Kerala reported reduced PSA levels in a 65-year-old patient combining herbal therapy with dietary changes, though results vary.
In the present times of communication revolution one can get the treatments at his home too.

*Conclusion**
Ayurveda offers a holistic lens for managing prostate cancer, focusing on balance, detoxification, and mental well-being. If not a standalone cure, it holds promise as a complementary approach to alleviate symptoms and enhance resilience. As integrative medicine gains traction, collaborative research could unlock deeper synergies between Ayurveda and oncology. For now, patients are urged to pursue Ayurvedic care under the guidance of trained practitioners and in dialogue with their medical team.
“Ayurveda’s strength lies in its personalized, preventive ethos—principles that modern medicine is only beginning to value.” By bridging ancient wisdom and contemporary science, we may pave the way for more compassionate, comprehensive cancer care.
