Complementary therapies

Many people have found that complementary therapies have helped reduce side effects from treatment, improve their emotional and physical well-being and enhance their recovery from cancer, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Therapies include acupuncture, massage, tai chi, qigong, meditation, music, aromatherapy, art and herbal products. Talk with your providers about any therapies you’d like to try during or after cancer treatment.
