Holistic Approach

Many people living with cancer are keen to take any steps that may offer relief, including complementary cancer treatments. For many patients, cancer makes them feel as if they have little control over their health. This is where a holistic approach – encompassing the mind, body, spirit, emotions – comes in, as it provides a measure of control and relief.

Alternative cancer therapies may not directly cure cancer, but they help patients cope with the rigors of aggressive treatment such as chemo. For example, common symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, vomiting, insomnia, stress, and pain may be decreased by holistic therapies.

For example, a course of acupuncture may significantly reduce nausea; they generally its benefits are not sturdy or long-lasting enough to replace medication. Any cancer patient considering these options must first work closely with a medical team like that at Vejthani Cancer Center to determine the right balance between traditional medicines and alternative cancer treatments.

As a starting point, here are ten alternative cancer treatments that are generally safe and are proven to provide some benefit and relief:

• acupuncture
• aromatherapy
• exercise
• hypnosis
• massage
• meditation
• music therapy
• tai chi
• yoga
