Chemotherapy support
Side effects of chemotherapy typically include fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle aches, nausea & vomiting, headaches, insomnia and anxiety/depression.
In Chinese medicine, chemotherapy weakens the vital energy and blood, disturbing the flow of energy through the body. Acupuncture can help by re-establishing this flow of energy(Qi) and promoting a deep state of relaxation and well-being. Specific acupuncture points are used to harmonise the stomach and reduce nausea and vomiting.
Chinese herbs are used to strengthen the energy, immune system and blood.
To start your chemotherapy support treatment, book in your initial Chinese medicine consultation with Dr Rachel Berners(CM) at her Eltham or City practice. Call Rachel direct on 0417325393.
