Acupuncture for Cancer
Acupuncture can play an active role in supporting the healing journey of
anyone diagnosed with cancer. Acupuncture can control many distressing
symptoms of cancer including nausea, shortness of breath, anxiety and
depression, chronic fatigue, dry mouth, pain, and neuropathy. Patients also
indicate they are better able to follow through with Western therapies
because acupuncture reduces or eliminates the side effects of surgery,
chemotherapy and radiation.
Acupuncture for Infertility:
Infertility affects 6 million American couples. Approximately sixty percent of
the cases are traced to problems with the woman and up to forty percent
are attributed to the male. Acupuncture helps women by regulating the
menstrual cycle and stimulating the flow of energy and blood. Blood
circulation will increase to the organs, especially to the uterus, making the
lining of the uterus more receptive. Acupuncture also affects the autonomic
nervous system, helping the uterus to relax, making the environment more
receptive to implantation. Acupuncture acts as a self-regulating mechanism
for hormones, thereby helping to correct imbalances. By moving stagnant qi,
the pain and complications of endometriosis may be lessened. Acupuncture is
excellent to tonify the body, thereby boosting energy, as well helping to
release endorphins to create a relaxed state. For men, acupuncture can
increase the motility & quality levels of sperm. People can experience a
balancing effect after just one treatment. However, we courage weekly
treatments for up to 3 months to stabilize and maximize the effects.
Chinese Herbal Formulas may also be recommended.
