While acupuncture does not claim to cure cancer, it’s proven to be very effective in supporting the symptoms of cancer and its treatment side effects, such as chemotherapy related sickness, anxiety or stress (see tile for Anxiety/Headaches), pain, fatigue, breathlessness, hot flashes, dry mouth, neuropathy and general quality of life.

Studies have shown acupuncture can be as good as or better than standard treatments to aid in relief of symptoms and side effects of cancer treatment. Patients reported that it helped them to feel relaxed and generally improves the feeling of well-being.

Acupuncture works to stimulate the nerves to release endorphins in the spinal cord and brain. These natural, calming substances along with serotonin which is also released by acupuncture treatments, relieve pain and promote the feeling of well-being. These substances working together has been proven to reduce and relieve the symptoms and side effects of cancer treatments designed to cure it.
