Aims: In this comprehensive evaluation of literature, body-mind practices of Yoga and Ayurveda during cancer rehabilitation are summarized. Methodology: Through a methodical searching of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Allied Health Plus with a timescale of January 2007 to April 2021, appropriate research papers were identified. Data about study design, method of recruiting, subjects, interventions, and findings were taken out. Retrospective data analysis, pilot or feasibility studies were eliminated, whereas preliminary, controlled studies involving one- and multiple equipped samples, examining rehabilitating therapies for cancer patients at any phase with in-care spectrum had been included. Results: The study included fifteen papers as outcome of PRISM model, wherein, breast carcinoma cases are predominant. Majority of therapies involved herbal and yoga-based regimens that enhanced psycho-physiological indicators and quality of life. Conclusion: Preliminary research suggests that integrating Yoga and Ayurveda remedies with lifestyle-relied intervention is possible to improve self-healing capacity and sustainability in cancer patients, however methodical constraints of investigations in this growing field should be addressed. To progress the discipline, new research with robust research approaches seems to be necessary.
