In our bodies, cells grow and die on a continuous basis. When we get older, new cells mutate frequently. When variable cells increase and gather into a group, cancer occurs.
Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are western conventional therapies. As supportive therapies, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can also contribute significantly.
According to TCM, there are four main organs involved in your immune system: the lung, the kidneys, the spleen and the large intestine. These meridians mobilize the body’s defense system to fight cancer. By improving the micro-circulation, acupuncture can repair the damage from conventional therapies more quickly. Acupuncture also can relax the mind, relieve pain, and increase energy level to improve the quality of life.
