Ayurvedic medicine has been used to treat various conditions but it may not be suitable for all health issues. If someone is diagnosed with throat cancer.. conventional cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have been proven effective in many cases.
