About The Book

In this thought-provoking work, Role of Indigenous Drugs Against Cancer, Dr. Gyanendra Pandey delves into the growing importance of Ayurveda in the fight against cancer. With a focus on multi-angled scientific and inter-disciplinary approaches, the book explores the potential of indigenous drugs, particularly those from plant origin, in cancer treatment.

The book examines three primary types of drugs used in the management of cancer: those prescribed in classical Ayurvedic texts, drugs investigated through scientific experiments, and ethnobotanical medicines reported from field surveys and tribal medicine. It provides a comprehensive review of the effectiveness of herbal therapies and the vast potential of these indigenous medicines in managing cancer.

Drawing on the research from the First National Conference on the Use of Indigenous Drugs in the Management of Cancer (held from February 3rd to 6th, 1988), the author presents valuable insights into the role of indigenous drugs in cancer treatment. The work opens up new avenues for future research and the application of traditional medicine in contemporary health practices.

A must-read for those interested in Ayurveda, alternative medicine, and the potential role of indigenous systems in modern-day cancer care.
