Acupuncture

Acupuncture is part of an ancient health system that involves the insertion of hair-like needles into particular locations on the body.
As part of a medical system known as Traditional Chinese Medicine, this therapy helps to restore the body’s life energy and balance.

Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years with great effectiveness and is now being incorporated into many Western hospitals and clinics as an alternative/complementary therapy. Acupuncture is a powerful tool for the control of pain and other symptoms related with cancer, such as nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and other related sympoms.
