October is Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we come together to raise awareness, show support, and celebrate the progress made in the fight against cancer. This annual observance serves as a reminder that cancer affects millions of lives worldwide, and it’s a call to action to continue the battle against this formidable foe.
Cancer is considered a dangerous and life-threatening disease. But we are unaware that “everyone of us has some active cancer cells within us”. These cells remain dormant or under control as long as we have a high level of immunity. When that immunity is shattered temporarily for some and sometimes for long periods due to persistent stress – physical, mental, emotional or spiritual stresses. These influence the body negatively and change the biochemical system of our body negatively causing disharmony to our energy flow – whether looked at in acupuncture terms of energic study; or in ayurvedic terms in terms of kapha, pitta, vata imbalance.
Cancer Awareness Month is a crucial opportunity to educate ourselves and others about the many forms of cancer, risk factors, and prevention strategies. Knowledge is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer. By understanding the signs and symptoms, we can encourage early detection, which often leads to better treatment outcomes.
Generally, cancers are caused over a long gestational period of slow immunity reduction and disharmony. This can take months or years before they present as an issue with symptoms and that is when we generally notice health problems.
Does that mean – there is no solution?
Like most things in life –
“prevention is always better than cure”
So if one follows
• a sattvic lifestyle
• reduces stresses in their life
• follow good protocols of rest and rejuvenation through yogasan, suryanamaskar, meditation, pranayam and a disciplined lifestyle
Prevention is key when it comes to cancer. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, can reduce the risk of many types of cancer. Equally important is undergoing regular screenings, as early detection often leads to more manageable treatment options.
One can avoid such imbalances from occurring & reduce the probability of suffering. Natural therapies have also shown that early-stage imbalances can be rectified with the prescribed protocols from professionally trained staff at Health Siren.
