Acupuncture has been suggested as a palliative form of treatment for patients undergoing chemotherapy. It has shown to decrease nausea, a common complaint of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Acupuncture is used to relieve pain and promote a healthy flow of energy through the body and its use has recently increased in the United States.
This treatment was originally used in China thousands of years ago. It involves the use of extremely thin needles inserted at various points on the body to
connect with nerves or meridians. There are some instances where individuals do not respond to this form of treatment, but it is worth trying as many people report feeling energized or calm after treatment and their pain has been relieved as well.
