Assessment of Quality of Life in Cancer Patients Supplemented with Ayurvedic Medicine (Body Revival): Case Reports

Background: Cancer patients experience a wide range of symptoms, which can affect their daily performance and quality of life (QoL). Objectives: The study’s goal was to evaluate the QoL of cancer patients who were taking natural polyherbal supplement (Body Revival). Methods: A small survey was conducted among 38 cancer patients, who were supplemented with Body Revival for ≥3 months. A structured and validated interview schedule was used to gather data from cancer patients. Results: Out of 38 cancer patients, 58.8% were male and 55% were in the age group of above 60, the majority with cancers in the breast (35%) and the reproductive system (male 27.8% and female 30%), and 44.4% male and 40% female had stage II disease. The QOL of the majority of patient symptoms was significantly improved (p<0.001) with Body Revival supplementation. It improved both the psychological and physical domains of day-to-day life, either by attenuating the adverse events of regular treatments for cancer or by enhancing vital energy in the body. Conclusions: Combining Body Revival supplements with routine medical care may help patients better control their negative symptoms, take initiative with their disease and treatment, and lead healthier lives. To strengthen the present findings, more research is required.
