Traditional Chinese Medicine
Cancer Support & Recovery
A cancer diagnosis can be one of life’s toughest challenges, bringing both physical and emotional hurdles. Patients often face difficult decisions while navigating their diagnosis. While seeking treatment from an oncologist is essential, many individuals explore safe alternative therapies. Acupuncture emerges as a viable and effective supplementary treatment for those undergoing conventional cancer care. It can help alleviate side effects before, during, and after treatment, particularly as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can be arduous. Managing these side effects is crucial for maintaining both physical and mental health, as they can sometimes hinder the continuation of standard treatments. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can provide support to cancer patients in two ways: during active treatment and during the remission stage.

Support during cancer treatment, and support during the recovery period.
During active cancer treatment
attributed to conventional cancer treatments. Additionally, changes in emotional health
and blood test results are also frequently observed. Acupuncture is a complementary
therapy used to help alleviate these side effects and maintain the patient’s overall health,
allowing them to continue receiving conventional care without interruptions.
Remission Stage
Traditional Chinese Medicine can greatly assist patients in this area. As mentioned on the
health promotion page, the primary focus is on recovering from illness. Cancer is a
complex disease that affects various physiological processes in the body. When a patient
enters the remission stage, they want to do everything possible to stay in remission.
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers effective treatments for those seeking support during
recovery or experiencing side effects from cancer treatment.
