Cancer is a diagnosis that no one wants to hear. It can throw you into a rollercoaster of overwhelming feelings and fears. If you or a loved one is facing cancer it is important to note that there are options available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life while you are undergoing treatment. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of conditions. It is commonly used to manage cancer-related symptoms, treat side effects induced by anticancer therapies, and boost white blood cell and natural killer cell activity in the immune system. Commonly treated symptoms include cancer pain and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomitingand other symptoms that affect a patient’s quality of life, including:
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • ​Insomnia
  • Poor appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Dry mouth
  • Hot flushes
  • Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
  • ​Gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation and diarrhoea​

It concluded that acupuncture has been demonstrated with strong evidence to be effective in the treatment of:​
