Purpose-The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the quality of life produced by Herbomineral Rasayana therapy in advanced stage cancer patients. Methods–In this observational study we evaluated the effect of HerbomineralRasayana therapy in 30 advanced cancer patients, who were not receiving any conventional anticancer treatment. Quality of Life was measured thrice by selfassessment with Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy scale (FACT-VERSION-4) at the beginning of Rasayana, after 3 months and at the end of the 6 months. During this phase all these patients were orally consuming herbomineral rasayana formulations once daily with honey. ResultsThree months after starting rasayana therapy( n=30),these patients showed significant improvement in physical wellbeing (from 18.69 to 22.68,p < 0.01 ) ,emotional well being (from 16 to 19.7 ,p<0.05 ) and functional wellbeing subscale ( from 17.94 to 23.3 ,p <0.01) . Significant improvement was also seen in FACT –G score (from 71.33 to 84.6 ,p< 0.01) .Scores of social wellbeing subscale remained unchanged .Improvement in Quality of life sustained even after six months ( n=25) in physical wellbeing subscale(from 18.69 to 22.79,p < 0.05 ) functional wellbeing subscale ( from 17.94 to 24.3 ,p <0.01) and FACT –G Score (from 71.33 to 85.8 ,p < 0.05 ).
