Signs and symptoms
Diet is the first and most important aspect of healing. Avoid heavy, greasy, sticky foods like yogurt, banana, cheese, sweets and milk products, packaged food, noodles, pasta, foods with preservatives. Canned food is not good to eat either in this condition. Ayurveda says leukemia can be caused from these lifestyle choices; by intake of food that is sour, salty, too hot, or unsuitable for one’s constitution. Excessive use of oil, sleeping in the daytime, exercise and sexual intercourse during the digestion of food, suppression of natural urges, anxiety, fear, anger and grief.
