Hi guys,

For multiple myeloma, is the Ayurvedic treatment will be good? Pls suggest.

My mother is having heavy pain with these injections and body swelling due to steroids.

Karan-

It would be helpful if you give us more information about the treatment that your mother is receiving now and the dosage of the steroids that she is taking – for example, X mg once per week, or Y mg Z times per week.

Also, what type of Aryuvedic treatment are you talking about? Are you talking about it instead of her current treatment, or in conjunction with her current treatment?

Remember that Aryuvedic medicine is based on a person's body type and varies accordingly. So, blanket statements would be hard to make as to whether it would be good or not. But, if your mother is having difficulty with her current treatment, you / she should talk with her oncologist and ask if any modifications could be made.

All the best to your mother in finding a regimen that works for her with minimal distress,
