Ayurvedic Treatment for Castleman Tumor
Abstract
Our body consists of lymph nodes which plays a vital role in supporting the body to fight with infection causing microbes. Lymph nodes act as filters to trap bacteria, viruses and other harmful pathogens in it. So, we can understand the importance of lymph nodes in our body. But sometimes, lymph nodes have to suffer from unwell conditions which interfere with their normal functioning. One of disorders related to lymph nodes is Castleman tumor.
