Today’s science shows Acupuncture can also be used effectively in:
Adverse reactions to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Allergies, Blood pressure problems, Infertility, Sexual dysfunction (low libido, erectile dysfunction), Breech position in pregnancy, Induction of labor, Rheumatoid arthritis.
Research:
Improves Cancer and Chemotherapy Recovery
According to the National Cancer Institute, several studies show that acupuncture can help boost immunity and speed up recovery following cancer treatments. One randomized trial, for example, found that acupuncture treatment enhanced immunity, platelet count and prevented a decrease in healthy cells after radiation therapy or chemotherapy when compared to receiving no acupuncture.
Researchers reported that the patients in both acupuncture treatment groups also experienced less pain from treatments, improvements in quality of life and a decrease in various negative side effects of chemotherapy, such as nausea.
