The goal of acupuncture is to improve the flow of energy (chi, pronounced chee) through areas of the body that are obstructed. It has been used for thousands of years to promote health, prevent illness and treat various medical problems. Acupuncture is very helpful for patients undergoing chemotherapy or cancer treatments to reduce side effects such as dry mouth secondary to head and neck radiation, nausea, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy and hot flashes.
