Cancer is one of the most challenging illnesses that people have to face in their lifetime. Unfortunately, cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent, with the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reporting that in 2020, cancer is set to become the leading cause of death in Australia. It is therefore vital that people are aware of the different treatments available for cancer, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

In Sydney, there are many clinics offering TCM treatments for cancer, including Joyful TCM in Bella Vista. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic approach to health and healing that has been used for centuries in China and other parts of Asia. It combines the use of herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage and dietary therapy to achieve balance and harmony in the body.

One of the main ways that TCM can help in the treatment of cancer is through its ability to reduce inflammation and regulate the immune system. This is particularly beneficial in the early stages of cancer, when the goal is to slow the spread of the disease and reduce symptoms. TCM can also be used to improve the body's ability to fight the cancer, by boosting the immune system and improving the body's response to treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Another way that TCM can be beneficial in the treatment of cancer is through its ability to reduce side effects from conventional cancer treatments. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause a range of unpleasant side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite. TCM can help to reduce these side effects by improving the body's ability to cope with the treatments, as well as reducing the toxic effects of the treatments themselves.

We offer a range of herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage and dietary therapy to help reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system.
