Acupuncture
: Acupuncture, or the use of needles to manipulate the "chi" or body energy, originated in China over 5,000 years ago. There has been limited research on acupuncture for cancer pain and the research that was done had mixed results. More studies are needed to determine potential benefits. Evidence from several small studies supports the use of acupuncture at a specific point on the wrist that helps reduce the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
