83rd International Conference “Ayurveda & Cancer Care” October 21 – 23, 2026

About the Conference

In Ayurveda, cancer is generally understood through concepts like Arbuda (major neoplasms or tumors) and Granthi (minor neoplasms or glandular growths). Rather than just targeting a tumor, Ayurvedic care is a person-focused, holistic system that aims to restore the body’s internal balance (Prakriti) to create an environment where cancer cannot thrive.

This program explores a holistic, patient-centered approach to cancer care, combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern supportive therapies.
