According to WHO reports Hepatocellular carcinoma remains an Asian health problem. Its prevalence disproportionately shares large of the world%26apos;s nearly 78%. Treatment options of HCC are limited and the effectiveness of treatment varies due to development of therapy-related adverse effects in Allopathic medicine. We report herein a case of HCC admitted to Sir Sundarlal Hospital, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi was treated with integrated Ayurvedic herbo 每 mineral medicine, with desirable results of improvement in QoL. The patient was treated with a holistic inter disciplinary approach i.e., Modern medicine treatment followed by Ayurveda, health education for cancer care and psychotherapeutic measures such as Yoga, psychological counseling etc. The symptoms were managed according to its clinical presentation and daily clinical evaluation. This paper demonstrates the findings of our experience in treating a case of HCC with Ayurvedic herbo mineral medicine as an adjuvant treatment for improvement of QoL.
