Cancer is a group of diseases marked by uncontrolled cell growth, which can form tumors and disrupt normal body functions. It can affect nearly any organ and be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Key Points: Causes: Triggered by genetic mutations from inherited traits or exposure to factors like tobacco, UV rays, chemicals, or infections. Types: Includes breast, lung, colon, prostate, leukemia, and more—named by the organ where it starts. Stages: Ranges from Stage 0 (localized) to Stage IV (advanced spread), guiding treatment and prognosis. Treatment: Options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies—often used in combination. Prevention: Healthy habits—avoiding tobacco, eating well, exercising, sun protection, and vaccinations—can lower risk. Screening: Early detection through tests like mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap smears improves outcomes. Advances: Research in genetics and personalized medicine is transforming cancer care with more precise, tailored treatments. Cancer remains a global health challenge, but progress continues through early detection, innovative therapies, and collaborative care.

Panchakarma is a traditional Ayurvedic detox and rejuvenation therapy aimed at cleansing the body of toxins (ama) and balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old healing science focused on restoring mind-body balance through natural methods like herbs, diet, yoga, and meditation. Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s deepest cleansing therapy—ideal for detox, healing, and restoring vitality.

Dialysis is a vital procedure that removes waste and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys fail due to conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). There are two main types: Hemodialysis: Blood is filtered through a machine (dialyzer) at a dialysis center, usually several times a week. Peritoneal Dialysis: A dialysis solution introduced into the abdomen absorbs waste through the peritoneal membrane. It’s often done at home. While not a cure, dialysis sustains life and may serve as a bridge to kidney transplantation or a long-term treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
