As a complementary therapy in cancer care, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) plays a pivotal role in alleviating symptoms and mitigating the side effects of conventional cancer treatments. TCM helps improve patients' physical health and energy levels by addressing issues such as fatigue, pain, and nausea that often accompany chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
Integrating TCM in Cancer Care
While Western medicine primarily focuses on targeting and suppressing tumor cells, TCM adopts a holistic approach that modulates the body's energy imbalances. By using carefully formulated herbal remedies and customized medications, TCM improves blood circulation and strengthens the immune system. At our Integrated Oncology Centre, these treatments are seamlessly integrated with conventional cancer therapies, offering patients a comprehensive care plan that not only fights disease but also supports overall healing.
Aligned with TCM Philosophy and Theory
TCM views the human body as a unique, interconnected system where physical, emotional, and spiritual elements work together to maintain health. This approach emphasizes the restoration of harmony and balance, enhancing the potency of treatments and reducing inflammation in cancerous tissues. By addressing the root causes of imbalances, TCM contributes to more effective management of cancer symptoms.
Improving Patients' Quality of Life
The utilization of TCM as an adjuvant therapy for cancer can lead to prolonged survival, improved tumor response rates, and enhanced physical well-being. Patients often experience fewer adverse effects and a higher quality of life during and after treatment. At our Integrated Oncology Centre, we are committed to merging ancient TCM practices with modern oncology, creating personalized treatment plans that empower patients and support their journey to recovery.
