Pain and Palliative Care

Pain is a very prominent and distressful symptom in patients presenting at the end of life. In the cancer population, its prevalence is over 75% for those with advanced disease. In terminally ill cancer patients, poor prognosis, unfruitful efforts, and lost hope from relatives and patients may dilute the intent of treatment resulting in worsening the condition medically, mentally, morally, and socially. Saptharchi offers carefully crafted and deeply researched medicines for pain management depending on the type and severity of the cancer.

Our palliative treatment works at any age and for any type and stage of cancer, including post-operative care for cancer patients. They help reduce and eliminate severe symptoms such as pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, breathing, and sleep problems. The principles and care advised in Ayurveda in the form of a diet plan can play a critical role in improving the health status and nutrition level of terminally ill patients. We provide emotional and spiritual support to ensure maximum benefits and a better quality of life thereby adding life to years and not years to life! Other therapies include:
