ACUPUNTURE
Acupuncture has been used for centuries as a Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for various conditions. In recent years, acupuncture has been increasingly studied for its potential role in oncology support.
Acupuncture is thought to work by stimulating the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the brain. It has been shown to help relieve pain and nausea associated with cancer treatment, as well as improve sleep and mood. Additionally, some studies have suggested that acupuncture may boost the immune system, speeding up recovery time and helping prevent infection in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
