Nausea & Vomiting

A client receives acupuncture in the abdomen with hair-thin needles.

Approximately 70% of patients undergoing chemo experience nausea (at times with vomiting) as a side effect. Ginger tea, specific foods, and Acuband nausea relief bands can often provide relief. When these measures aren’t enough, acupuncture can be a very effective alternative. For best results, acupuncture is recommended the day before each chemo treatment as well as 2-3 days after.
