There are many different symptoms of chemotherapy but in this article I found several ways to deal with those symptoms.
If you're experiencing anxiety, try hypnosis, massage, meditation and relaxation techniques.
If you're experiencing fatigue, try exercise, massage, relaxation techniques and yoga.
If you're experiencing nausea and/or vomiting, try acupuncture, aromatherapy, hypnosis and music therapy.
If you're experiencing pain, try acupuncture, aromatherapy, biofeedback, hypnosis, meditation, massage and music therapy.
If you're experiencing sleep problems, try exercise, relaxation techniques, Tia chi and yoga.
Finally, if you're experiencing stress, try aromatherapy, exercise, hypnosis, massage, meditation, Tia chi and yoga.
Some treatments are truely worth trying out. Such treatments include, acupuncture, aromatherapy and biofeedback.
Acupuncture- A pratitioner inserts tiny needles into the skin at certain areas. It's shown that acupuncture may be efective in relieving nausea caused by chemotherapy. It can also relieve pain in patients with cancer.
Aromatherapy- Uses fragrant oils to provide a calming sensation. Oils that have been infused with scents like lavender can be applied to the skin during massage therapy or the oils can be added to bath water. These oils can also be heated to release their scents in the air. Nausea, pain and stress can be relieved by this.
Biofeedback- An electronic device is used to monitor a specific body function such as muscle tension or heart rate. The device uses a flashing light or beeping sound as cues to tell you that your heart rate is slowing or your muscles are becoming more relaxed.
