How does east asian medicine help support chemo patients?
Chinese medicine is an evidence-based integrative medicine that is recognized as a safe and effective therapy for cancer patients going through chemotherapy and radiation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help relieve the symptoms of chemotherapy such as nausea, neuropathy, myalgia, headaches, fatigue, and weakness. TCM rebalances and detoxifies the body. Chinese herbal medicine helps to strengthen immunity and improve cellular function.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine will not interfere or prevent the conventional treatment of chemotherapy and radiation from working as it should. Rather, it enhances the outcome while improving the patient's quality of life.
In fact, oncologists are now familiarizing themselves with alternative medicines that can help their patients and are often recommending acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy.
I understand that cancer can be costly, therefore rates for this service while you are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or other cancer treatments will be at a lower rate than our traditional services.
