Treat Chemotherapy Side Effects from Cancer with Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can work as a powerful self-healing and restorative therapy for cancer patients and studies show that it is very good for rebuilding the immune system and strengthening the body after chemotherapy.


Chemotherapy side effects can be debilitating and can sometimes cause vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, appetite changes, anxiety, nerve and muscle problems, kidney and bladder issues, numbness in the hands and feet and increase the risk of infection.

We use acupuncture to help you deal with these side effects and ease the anxiety that often accompanies this frightening disease. Acupuncture treatments can for example adjust the immune system and coax the body back into balance. And if we combine Acupuncture treatments with Acupressure (Chinese Massage), Chinese Herbal Medicine and Tai Chi Exercises we can lessen and ease the uncomfortable effects of chemotherapy.

Side Effects of Chemotherapy Treated by Care Cure Acupuncture Clinics are as follows:
  • Nausea & Vomiting
  • Dry Mouth
  • Hair Loss
  • Numbness
  • Anxiety & Depression
  • Nerve and Muscle Problems
  • Pain
  • Digestion Problems
  • Appetite and Weight Changes
  • Insomnia
  • Kidney and Bladder Problems
  • Depleted White Blood Cell Count

In Chinese Medicine, we think of cancer not as a single disease but as an illness of the whole body, or at least a system breakdown. To treat the whole body is far more important than to treat just the cancer cells.

The strongest evidence of the effect of acupuncture on chemotherapy side effects has come from clinical trials. These studies conducted on cancer pain and chemotherapy side effects have shown positive results in improvement levels for the cancer patients participating in the clinical trials.

At Care Cure Acupuncture we will work with the cancer patient to revitalize their nervous system by stimulating specific energy points, which will lessen stress and anxiety, combat fatigue, hair loss and other side effects associated with chemotherapy treatments. To stimulate these points we will use small painless disposable needles which will be inserted into different energy points in the body or if the patient prefers we can use acupressure which uses the fingers and thumb instead of needles.

All our Clinics in Galway City, Loughrea, Tuam, Dun Laoghaire and Longford offer a FREE NO OBLIGATION CONSULTATION SO PLEASE CALL NOW ON 091-539996/086-2159282 TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT OR GET FURTHER INFORMATION. FIND US ON FACEBOOK CARE CURE CLINICS IRELAND OR SEE OUR WEBSITE www.carecure.ie

Eliminate Fibroids The Natural Way with Care Cure Acupuncture

The section below explains how the condition of the liver channel is connected with uterine fibroids.  Your liver regulates the blood in your body – in other words we say in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that the liver has been given the function of storing blood in the body, regulating blood flow and preventing blood overflow.   I.               Storage of Blood Blood from the liver glorifies and nourishes the body’s meridians (channels which flow through the body) and it also nourishes your fingers/toes nails and eyes. If blood stored in your liver failed to nourish the meridians, it would result in symptoms including numbness, pins and needles, tendon twitch, muscle spasms, and convulse of limbs. Similarly if the eyes do not receive proper nourishment from the liver blood, patients will experience dry, sore eyes or even blurred vision. If your nails do not get enough blood supply, they will become brittle and thin, withered and easy broken. What’s more, liver bl

Tongue Diagnosis in Care Cure Acupuncture Clinics

When visiting our clinic for a consultation, you will be asked to stick out your tongue so our practitioner can diagnose your condition. This can seem like a very strange request, and you’re usually left to wonder what they saw there. This article helps clarify what your practitioner sees on your tongue by clearly explaining the basics of tongue analysis, and will also show you how you can use that information to make dietary choices to benefit your overall well-being. Basically, your tongue is a reflection of what’s happening inside your body. Natural medicine tries to find balance in your whole body.

Acupuncture and Herbs to treat Sinus Infections Sinusitis  or  sinus infection  is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis. Our practitioners stimulate the small channels that connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. Stimulating these congestion points increases blood flow to your sinuses and loosens mucus . This allows the mucus to drain into the nose from the sinuses and allows air to flow into the sinuses from the n
