Benign polyps or tumours

Unusual growths in the uterus, nose, or gut, when non-cancerous, are seen as granthi (knots) or arbuda (tumours) in Ayurveda. These arise from kapha-rakta imbalance and āma (toxin) buildup. When metabolic fire (agni) weakens, excess tissue accumulates, forming soft or firm masses that disturb local function over time.

Common Causes of Benign polyps or tumours

Poor digestion creating āma and blocked channels
Excessive intake of dairy, sweets, and heavy foods
Chronic inflammation from pitta and rakta imbalance
Hormonal disturbance or suppressed emotions
Sedentary lifestyle slowing tissue metabolism
