COMPLEMENTARY ONCOLOGY

Complementary oncology, not complimentary (often confused and with a different meaning), is the art and science of using approaches which will help with symptom control, mind-body connection augmentation of care and things of that nature. I often includes things like nutrition and supplements/botanicals/herbals, but here we focus on the benefits of things like Tai Chi, acupuncture and acupressure, Qi Gong, laugh therapy, music therapy and so on. Here are some examples from a few major cancer centers around the country.
