Acupuncture Provides Relief from Chemotherapy

It has long been known in the acupuncture community that acupunture is

effective in reducing the side effects of chemotherapy.

 

A recent study by Eleanor , director of breast radiation oncology

at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, found acupuncture was more effective

for easing side effects from cancer treatments than drug therapy and

lasted longer.

 

Treatments such as chemotherapy can bring on fatigue, nausea, hot

flashes, excessive sweating and more. The study compared women who used

acupuncture compared to women who used a drug therapy during a 12-week

period.

 

Both groups reported an improvement, but the acupuncture group didn't

experience side effects reported in the drug group like nausea and

headaches. The acupuncture group also reported having more energy.
