Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Treatments for Integrative Cancer Care

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are routinely used together with conventional healthcare to meet the needs of people living with cancer in Chinese hospitals.

Clinical trials carried out in the west have demonstrated that acupuncture is an effective treatment for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and also suggest acupuncture may be helpful in managing;

cancer-related pain
symptoms of neuropathy
chemotherapy-related neutropenia
chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
cancer fatigue
radiation-induced xerostomia (dry mouth)

From my clinical experience cancer patients benefit from integrating acupuncture and often chinese herbal medicne into their conventional treatment, helping to reduce many of the unpleasant side effects of the chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatment and improving the patients general wellbeing and treatment outcomes.
