In Ayurveda, cancer is not described as a single disease but is understood under various conditions such as Arbuda (tumor) and Granthi (minor neoplasm or cystic swelling). These are considered Tridoshic imbalances (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), with a predominance of Kapha and Vata dosha.
Types of Cancer (Modern Classification)
There are over 100 types, but major categories include:
1. Carcinomas – skin, lungs, breasts, pancreas, etc.
2. Sarcomas – bones, cartilage, fat, muscle.
3. Leukemia – blood-forming tissues.
4. Lymphomas – immune system.
5. Myeloma – plasma cells.
6. Central nervous system cancers – brain and spinal cord.

Biomi as a Management Tool in Cancer Treatment.
Biomi, a natural antimicrobial formulation, plays a supportive role in the management of cancer by targeting underlying or opportunistic infections that often arise due to a weakened immune system. Cancer patients, especially those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, are highly susceptible to infections from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Biomi’s broad-spectrum antimicrobial action helps in maintaining a healthy internal environment, reducing the microbial load, and preventing secondary complications.
