Abstract

This case report discusses the management of multiple myeloma in a 59-year-old male patient through an integrative approach of Ayurvedic and conventional medical care. The patient presented with symptoms of pain in ribs, fatigue, nausea, weight loss, and mental stress. After undergoing chemotherapy and steroid therapy, the patient opted for Ayurvedic treatment instead of a recommended bone marrow transplant. Ayurvedic examination revealed imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, affecting various body tissues and mental state. The Ayurvedic regimen led to the recovery of the patient without adverse effects. This case highlights the role of Ayurvedic medication in managing multiple myeloma, warranting further research and clinical trials for broader validation. Keywords: Multiple myeloma, Ayurveda, Integrative medicine, Chemotherapy, Holistic approach
