Complementary & Alternative Methods and Cancer


Complementary medicine is used along with the conventional medicine in order to improve the quality of life. This is a group of health care system and medical system, products and practices adopted at treatment centres, hospice and self-help group. Gentle therapies such as massage, relaxation, and other "healing" therapies play a major role in palliative care which alleviates the side effects, pain and anxiety associated with chemotherapy and cancer treatments in general. Recent studies found that complementary technique is used by the 80% of breast cancer survivors.



Alternative cancer treatments are do not play a direct role in treatment of cancer, rather they may be useful to reduce the sign and symptoms of cancerous cells. Common signs and symptoms that a cancer patient feels such as unusual weight loss, extreme fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, anxiety, sore throat, persistent cough, unusual bleeding or discharge, loss of appetite, etc can be reduced by these treatments. Some of the alternative treatments are exercise, meditation, music therapy, aromatherapy, hypnosis, acupuncture, massage relaxation techniques and yoga.
