Acupuncture Treats Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomit
Feeling Nauseous with Low Appetite and Throwing up?
Acupuncture is a successful treatment used for Nausea with or without Vomiting, along with low appetite experienced after Cancer Treatment.
Nausea and vomiting with low appetite are the last thing a patient or doctor wants after chemotherapy treatments when the body needs to nourish and build-up reserves quickly while needing increased rest at the same time.
This is why more hospitals are offering acupuncture on-site for patients after chemotherapy and it is proving a success for treating nausea and vomiting!
