jacqui is also intimately familiar with reproductive cancers and utilises an integrative approach to healing... healing from surgery or through rounds of chemo, whether it be 'adjunctive' or 'palliative'. jacqui uses both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to support patients through their cancer journey, recovery from surgery or at certain times during the chemo cycle. she also uses nutraceuticals to assist with the detox process during the cycle and post chemotherapy. Ask your oncologist about taking CoQ10 during your chemo cycle to minimise cardiotoxicity.
acupuncture is great to minimise side-effects of chemotherapy, i.e using dermal needles to ward off nausea and vomiting or pain. the key benefit of using acupuncture, is that it is a non-pharmaceutical intervention, and thus, will not interact with other medications, including Chemotherapy drugs. therefore it is appropriate at any time of the chemotherapy cycle.
Chinese dietary therapy is also something that can be utilised during the chemo cycle. Bone broths enriched with various Chinese herbs can assist the blood, RBC and platelets in the lead up to the next chemo round.
jacqui is also researching medical cannabis from both a TCM and Western view, and hopes to utilise some of these products such as CBD oil, edibles and capsules for a range of medical applications, including cancer support. there is a great deal happening in this area at the moment and despite the current complex regulatory process, people are working to develop low THC/high CBD products within other frameworks.
