AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR ENLARGED PROSTATE GLAND

Enlarged Prostate Gland treatment in Ayurveda 

Prostate gland is a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals and releasing prostatic fluid. The technical or literal meaning of prostate is “Protector” or the one who stands before like a guard. Basically it’s a guard to the pipe which carries urine from urinary bladder to outside. This protects the urethra in men because the urinary pipe in men is much longer than in females and needs protection. It not only guards the urethra but also guards the sperms by its secretions. The secretions are highly alkaline and protect the sperms from acidic media in the vagina, thereby helping the sperm to lead a longer life span.

Size and Location of Prostate Gland 


A healthy male’s prostate gland is about 11 grams in weight, which is a little bigger than the size of a walnut.
The part of urethra which is surrounded by prostate gland is called Prostatic urethra. If the prostate gland grows bigger in size, it presses down on this portion of urethra leading to symptoms like urinary urge, drop by drop urination, difficult and painful urination. Since the ejaculatory ducts also open in the urethra in this region, there can be pain during the ejaculation as well, if the prostate is enlarged.

Zones of Prostate Gland 

Prostate is an exocrine gland, found in mammals and is divided into 4 zones i.e. Peripheral ( 70 % )  Central ( 25 % )  Transition zone ( 5 % )  and fibro-muscular zone (5 % )
In Peripheral zone, 70-80 % of prostate cancers origin in this area and Benign prostate enlargement happens mostly in Transition zone.
Sometimes the zones are also classified into lobes
Anterior Lobe is transitional zone, Posterior Lobe is Peripheral zone, Lateral lobes are all over the zones and Median lobe is roughly the central zone.

Function of Prostate Gland

As mentioned above, the meaning of Prostate is to protect like a guard. The secretions from the gland are slightly alkaline and help the spermatozoa to live for longer span and stay motile in the highly acidic vaginal secretions. The sperms which are expelled along with prostatic secretions have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material.

2.      Break in urinary stream
3.      Straining while urinating

  What are PSA levels and other ways to find Enlarged prostate or Prostate Cancer?


Prostate cancer is one of the significant causes of death in elderly men and is one of the most common cancers. The increased PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in blood, enlarged prostate by rectal exam and measurement of a protein in urine called – Engrailed-2 or EN2 can lead to diagnosis of enlarged prostate and Prostate cancer.

Ayurvedic Treatment of Blood Cancer - Leukemia Diet by Chandigarh-India Doctor - Vikram Chauhan- MD



We often hear this dreadful disease’s name nowadays. The name is so dreadful that it is sufficient to give a shock of lifetime to all family members beside the patient.

Although there is so much advancement in the field of medicine but still the doctors find themselves in a difficult situation dealing with blood cancers. The chemotherapy and radiotherapy has so many side effects sometimes that it becomes a part of disease rather than curing it.

TYPES OF BLOOD CANCER – ACUTE AND CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA
(AML, CML )  

1.    Acute Myelocytic Leukemia – ( AML )  Acute myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer that starts from bone marrow and the tissue which is inside the bones. This tissue helps to form blood cells. The cancer grows from the cells that were suppose to become white blood cells. It develops quickly, that’s why it’s called Acute and can prove fatal if not treated quickly.   

2.    Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia – (CML ) Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is cancer that starts inside bone marrow. This is the soft tissue in the center of bones that helps form all blood cells. CML causes an uncontrolled growth of immature cells that make a certain type of white blood cell called myeloid cells. Many patients discover the problem accidently and in accelerated phase it causes fever, bone pain, spleen enlargement, sweating, fatigue, weakness and bruising.  


3.    Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma- It is a type of cancer of the lymphatic tissue. Main symptoms are night sweats, fever and chilles ( on and off), swollen  lymph nodes, weight loss, shortness of breath, swellings, nausea, vomiting, headaches.


Blood cancer Treatment in Ayurveda

Ayurveda or natural medicine has always helped so many cancer patients to fight this dreadful disorder handsomely. Sometimes the patients are not willing to go solely for ayurvedic treatment of their blood cancer. They want chemotherapy or radiotherapy as advised by the doctors. I am not against chemotherapy or radiotherapy but I would always suggest start Ayurvedic treatment for Blood Cancer along with the ongoing modern medical treatments. The Ayurvedic treatment is rejuvenating in nature. Take some nourishing ayurvedic supplements which are helpful in protecting the healthy cells and regulate the metabolism of the body and stops progression or acceleration of cancer.

Staunch followers of Ayurveda, can take complete Ayurvedic treatment for his blood cancers– Acute Myelocytic leukemia or Chronic Myelocytic leukemia or Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

1.    The Ayurvedic treatment of Leukemia can be used as an adjuvant to ongoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
2.    It can be used as a rejuvenative, preventive and life prolonging and curative therapy in many
3.    The preparations used in Ayurveda, slows down the progress of the disease and sometimes put them in complete remission phase.
4.    Ayurvedic herbs help to minimize the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
5.    Ayurvedic medicines can help to clear the cancer in many cases.

The blood Cancer is called “Rakt-Arbud” in Ayurvedic medicine by many. While mentioning Arbud another name comes in ayurvedic texts called “Granthi”. Both of these names literally mean “Tumor or swollen, elevated, painful/ painless, elevated node”.  Blood Cancers can also be classified as “dysfunctional Pitta” leading faulty formation / non-formation / damage of blood cells or immunity cells. Or “Rakt-Gat Pitta” , Sannipataj Paandu + Rakt Arbud.

Warm food, Fresh Food – Vegetable soup made from fresh green leafy vegetables is recommended.

God made foods are good rather than man made (Processed) – as this machine is made by God and not by man

Nature knows which fuel is good for this human machine. Most of the things which grow in fields, trees, and forests are good. Packaged food, processed food is very bad. Soft drinks are bad because they provide CO2 (carbon di-oxide) and deprive living cells of oxygen.

Ghee is always recommended in all types of Blood Cancers. In such cancers, Vata and Pitta are highly vitiated and in imbalanced state. Bramhi Ghritam, Maha Chaitas Ghritam, Ashwagandha Ghritam, Triphala Ghritam etc. are excellent.


Swamla compound ( made from amla base), Maharishi Amrit Kalash are various preparations which can be added depending upon various conditions.  Coconut water should be consumed everyday early morning to neutralize the toxins produced by acidic diet in the body.

Fruit juices should be consumed one fruit juice at a time or in a day. For example fruit juice of Apple, Water melons and avoid sour fruit juices like Lemons, Oranges. For vitamin C, Amla fruit berries are excellent, and although they are sour but they become sweet in “Vipaka” ( Metabolic property) after digestion. So they are good. Amla berries are there in Amalaki Rasayan, All chawyanprash, and other herbal jams of Ayurveda.

Avoiding Constipation in MDS, Blood Cancers and other cancers

Consitpation should be avoided at all costs. Consuming soups of green leafy vegetables, consuming fruits like papaya, melons, apples, pears and coconut water will help to get rid of constipation and improve appetite.

Don’t force feed and let the appetite generate itself. It is written in Ayurveda, if there is no food, the digestive fire will burn the “ama” (toxins) . So it is good to keep a fast once a week to enlighten the digestive fire and improve appetite. Keep fast on coconut water or soups.

Apple rich diet for MDS and other cancers

Apples are excellent for all tumors/ cancers. Fresh apples, without pesticides spray should be consumed almost every day.

Don’t mix them with Yogurt or milk. Consuming whole, along with the peel is recommended as it is rich in quercitin but washing for about 5 minutes is recommended to clear the disinfectants.

Alcohol, beer should be stopped at all costs.
