Improving digestion ([[pachana]]), fomentation ([[swedana]]), application of medicated paste (lepa), leech application (jalaukavacharana) etc. can be done as per the conditions. Particularly when there is skeletal metastasis, fomentation with bolus of leaves of herbs (patrapotalli sweda) can be done in condition associated with [[ama]] ( samaavastha). Keeping heated oil over lowback (Katibasti) with kottamchukkadi/sahacharadi oil is followed by patrapotalli sweda. Fomentation (seka) can also be done with oil (taila), fermented rice water (kanji) etc. Leech application (jalukavacharana) will help particularly in oral cancers. Where there is a tendency of bleeding the pain gets relieved after bleeding. In a malignant melanoma case, treatment started with leech application and fumigation showed good results.

'''Q.''' (Dr Manisha Sharma) If desi cow milk is not available then can we prescribe other milk?
'''Q.''' (Dr Manisha Sharma) If desi cow milk is not available then can we prescribe other milk?
'''A.''' We have to go for Desi cow milk only. Jersey cow milk is the culprit, it cause cancer. So it cannot be used. Buffalo milk or goat milk are the other options. If these are not available, go for organic foods. That is the only solution.

'''Q.''' What is the option for milk in cancer patients in case of lactose intolerance?
'''Q.''' What is the option for milk in cancer patients in case of lactose intolerance?
'''A.''' Generally it is not found. There can be some problems like flatulence, loose motions, hiccups in some cancer patients with milk diet. This can be treated easily with pippali rasayana or by adding shunti or haridra with milk.

'''Q.''' (Dr Arpitha Konana) Are gold preparations or suvarna bhasma is useful in treatment of cancer?
'''Q.''' (Dr Arpitha Konana) Are gold preparations or suvarna bhasma is useful in treatment of cancer?
'''A.''' That can be used. I emphasized on hiraka bhasma. There can be other gold preparations like suvarnasutasekara rasa, suvarnamalinivasant rasa etc. if needed. We generally tried to go for siddha kshira, suvarnaguduchikshira. 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of water, 1 golden bangle or ring and [[guduchi]], boil it, reduce to 1 cup. Have that milk as anupana with whatever medicines we are giving. I was using mahakalyanaka grita. But rakta dushya is very commonly seen in most of the cancer patients. So we now prepare raktakalyanakaghrita which raktapachaka and kalyanakaghrita combination. We prepare it by ourself. Every week I require 5 to 10 kgs of ghrita. This is to be given as anupana followed by suvarnaguduchiksheera. That helps better.
