When You Have Cancer Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs Can Help

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are used to rebalance and stimulate the body’s ability to heal when injury or disease impairs functioning. Both acupuncture and Chinese herbs work to strengthen the body’s natural healing function as well as assist with the side effects of Western medical treatment. When you have been diagnosed with cancer, your Chinese medicine practitioner will support you physically and emotionally as you move through the process of recovery and return to full health.

Studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that acupuncture is effective for several side effects of cancer and the associated western medical treatments. These include nausea, vomiting, pain, dry mouth, and fatigue.

Treatment by an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist focuses on the person, not the disease. Your acupuncture treatment will strengthen the correct functioning of your blood cells and body fluids as it helps reduce or eliminate the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. All facets of your health will be considered. In addition to acupuncture, your practitioner may make recommendations to address your physical and emotional well-being through nutrition and gentle movement.

If you would like to lessen the possibility of developing cancer you should consider Chinese medicine as a tool. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are beneficial in keeping the body in balance. Using these traditional therapies along with good nutrition can provide assistance in the prevention of cancer. Along with specific lifestyle changes, based on individual needs, the potential for the occurrence or recurrence of cancer can be decreased.
