We are on your side while battling cancer...

Sometimes we discover cancer in patients by chance; but mostly we would like to support patient's needs through enduring treatment.

Cancer support

In recent years there has been an increase in cancer patients seeking complementary medicine such as Acupuncture, Acupressure, Shiatsu and Nutritional support to help deal with symptoms. These methods provide  non-pharmacologic ways to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life throughout the course of illness. Acupuncture, acupressure, Shiatsu, herbs, etc help support cancer patients by relieving common symptoms like pains and aches, numbness, nausea, vomiting, insomnia and pain. furthermore, the sense of relaxation can help with emotional discomforts such as fear and depression that may arise during the course of illness.

Common complications from cancer and its treatments such as surgeries, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, etc. 
  • Pain
  • Numbness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Dryness in mouth
  • Skin ulcers
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety
  • Fatigue
Although some herbs may help boost the energy, ease the fear, or reduce nausea, physicians/oncologists are concerned about drug-herb interactions and others complications. Patients are encouraged and recommended to discuss with their physicians before taking any herbs from any sources.
