    TLDR Ayurveda-based care improved quality of life for breast cancer patients without serious side effects.
    The study involving 40 breast cancer patients found that an Ayurveda-based regimen, including Guduchi, Ashwagandha, and Curcumin, improved quality of life (QoL) when combined with conventional therapy. The supportive group (n=20) reported better global health status, physical and emotional functioning, and reduced symptoms like pain, insomnia, and hair loss distress compared to the control group (n=20). No serious adverse events were noted, though mild gastric discomfort occurred in two patients. The findings suggest that Ayurveda-based supportive care may enhance QoL in breast cancer patients, advocating for further research with larger trials.
