Abstract

Ayurveda is not only the medical science but it is the science of life. In Ayurveda, there is no such single disease, which resembles Cancer. Acharya Charaka, who was expert in medicine, has clearly mentioned that a physician should not bother too much to understand name of the disease, but one should have proper perspective of the disease. There are various diseases which show simili to cancer. Arbuda is one such disease. Vata, Pitta, Kapha having got aggrevated in any part of the body and afflicting the Mansa dhatu, produce a circular, fixed, slightly painful, big, broad based slow growing non-suppurating and dense elevation (swelling) of mansa. The same is called as “Arbuda” by the scholars. 1 Acharya Charaka has also mentioned that Physician should understand Vikaraprakruti (State of vitiated dosha, dhatu & mala causing disease), Adhishthanantarani (Site of - vitiated Dosha) & Samutthan Vishesha (Cause of vitiation of dosha) thoroughly. One, who treats the disease by the knowledge of these three things, achieves success in the treatment. Because a vitiated dosha can exhibit various diseases according to different causes of vitiation & different sites.
