Cancer Support and Recovery

Today more than ever, through advancements in modern medicine, many cancers can be cured especially when detected in the early stages. That's good news, especially if you are someone who is going through treatment for cancer or if you have a family history of cancer. Though treatment with Western therapies has been effective it usually comes with serious side effects. Both the National Institute of Health (NIH) and The American Cancer Society support and recommend acupuncture as part of a cancer treatment plan and for treatment related-symptoms.

According to the National Institute of Health, acupuncture has been found effective in relieving:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Fatigue
• Post-Surgical pain

In addition to relieving uncomfortable side effects, the goal of treatment with acupuncture is to stimulate and strengthen the immune function. Acupuncture is considered, "homeostatic," meaning that it assists in stabilizing the body's integrity, helping to restore its normal function. Through the insertion of sterile needles into acupuncture points, substances are released internally, normalizing the central nervous system and promoting proper internal circulation. Improved circulation detoxifies the organs, promotes healthful function of the organ systems, and deeply and naturally strengthens the body's immune function by stabilizing the condition of the central nervous system. As the body's integrity stabilizes, the person gains more energy, hope, clarity and will-all of which are very important in the journey back to health.

Acupuncture is recommended during cancer treatment and is especially important once Western treatment has concluded. Treatment is especially important during this time in returning the body to its vital state again, making it more resistant to future degeneration and setback.
