Here are a few holistic options to help deal with the symptoms of
cancer treatments…
1. acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicinal practice where thin, sterile needles are inserted into your skin.
These needles are said to stimulate the nervous system and release natural painkillers. It has shown to help
relieve fatigue and pain in cancer patients that’s caused by radiation or chemotherapy.

There are many vitamins, minerals, and herbs that can benefit those undergoing cancer treatments. Studies
