The Ayurvedic Approach to Cancer breaks new ground with its unique approach to supporting those living with cancer by integrating the holistic practices of Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine, with the most advanced, cutting-edge science from the field of exceptional cancer survivorship research. Optimize your mental and emotional health using the psychology of exceptional survival. Understand practical, straightforward changes to your diet to boost your natural immunity and gut health. Practice the science of circadian medicine as well as the healing benefits of nature immersion, meditation and visualization, breathing techniques and clinically proven herbal medicines and supplements. Sam Watts has a PhD in cancer research. Through his research searching for consistencies in the practices that the majority of cancer patients with exceptional survivorship adopt, Sam realized that the majority of the commonalities fall under the framework of Ayurveda. In this book, Sam has integrated his exceptional cancer survivorship research and Ayurveda practices into a practical and easy-to-follow 5-point plan that will engage the body’s natural ability to heal so you can live with cancer with vitality, well-being and optimism.

Critic Reviews

“Dr Sam Watts has beautifully woven together the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with the modern realities of cancer care in this thought-provoking and empowering book. His focus on engaging the body’s healing potential through mindset, immune support and alignment with chronobiological systems deeply resonates with my own work, especially his emphasis on survivorship and the holistic balance of the terrain. I am particularly impressed by his keen insights into patient empowerment and pattern recognition – a hallmark of Ayurveda that has stood the test of time.
‘While our approaches to dietary recommendations may differ, particularly in how we address the metabolic aspects of cancer treatment, I wholeheartedly support his overarching philosophy of nurturing the whole being. Dr Watts’ 5-Step Plan to mitigate side effects and enhance wellbeing will undoubtedly offer readers a comprehensive and holistic path to health. His deep understanding of the profound role that ancient herbal medicines can play in cancer care is a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation about integrative oncology.”—Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, coauthor of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer and Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology
