Leukemia is a form of cancer and as such can be fatal and there is no known cure for it. Its cells break into the body and attack tissue until they are dead.

To halt the spread of the cancerous cells the tissue metabolism must be re-invigorated.

Though it is incurable, Leukemia can be controlled and the pain suffered by a patient greatly reduced if methods owing to the Ayurvedic way of life are adhered to.

Ayurvedic Cause of Leukemia

At its outset leukemia damages the internal tissue metabolism. As it does so it becomes progressively stronger and more virulent. If it is allowed to rampage through a body wholly unchecked then in a very short time it will kill the patient.

In Ayurvedic thinking this damage occurs when the digestive system begins to fail. This means that food is not ingested and broken down properly to make waste. It also means that it is not forming as rasa but ama. Ama is a negative toxin and a dense, heavy, slimy substance which because of these properties means if allowed to flow around the body unchecked it easily kills any healthy organisms that get in its way.

If allowed to get this far ama causes suppression of vata, viation of pitta and ultimately contamination of kapha. All this means that once the negative cells have affected the easiest areas to afflict they become strong enough to attack other tissues.

Ayurvedic Remedy for Leukemia

There is no absolute remedy for leukemia, all that the sufferer can do is hope to make it recede and the Ayurvedic philosophies can assist in achieving this.

Ayurvedic practices healing and natural repair to the damaged tissue or organs and to rebalance the three elements vata, pitta and kapha until health is restored.

A good, balanced healthy diet is a good starting point and foodstuffs such as raw fruit, green salad, raw vegetables etc can act as agents to purify the noxious toxins in the digestive system. Once purification begins then the tissue can begin repair until it is strong enough to fight off impure cells.

A less stressful life and more leisure time and even sleep also give the body enough time to relax and allow essential maintenance. All the traits related to stress and lack of sleep produce ama and should be avoided at all costs.

Yoga is at the heart of many of the Ayurvedic teachings and is particularly crucial to fight against Leukemia.

It is a wonderful de-stresser and can free the body. In its freedom it is more receptive to rasa energies which provide positive toxins which are vital for a general feeling of wellness.

This is not only a very good preventive measure, if we are well in ourselves our internal systems are much less likely to be attacked and fall victim to negative energies, but also if a disease has taken hold and is spreading, then positive energies and feelings are vital in leading the fight back.

Overall it is an improved diet and lifestyle compromises that start the healing process. But it is yoga and Ayurvedic that do the final tuning to the tissues and internal systems that leads to remission of diseases such as leukemia.
