Harness the power of your body to heal through clinically proven, natural, Ayurvedic holistic practices. Optimise 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. Practise the science of circadian medicine as well as the healing benefits of nature immersion, meditation and visualisation, breathing techniques and clinically proven herbal medicines and supplements. The Ayurvedic Approach to Cancer aims to break 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. Sam Watts has a PhD in cancer survivorship from the University of Southampton. He is also a trained clinical practitioner of Ayurveda. Sam has led large-scale, NHS-funded clinical investigations of people living with incurable cancers who defy the statistical odds. Sam’s research has been focused on finding consistencies in the practices that the majority of these cancer patients adopt because he believes that it is very likely that these practices will help us understand what allowed them to become exceptional. His research has indeed found such consistencies and, as an Ayurvedic practitioner, he has also realised that the majority of them fall under the framework of Ayurveda. Over the last decade, Ayurveda has become one of the most-utilised forms of complementary medicine adopted by those living with cancer. In this book, Sam has integrated his exceptional cancer survivorship research and Ayurveda practices into a practical and easy-to-follow blueprint that will engage the body’s natural ability to heal so you can live with cancer with vitality, well-being and optimism.
