Complementary and Alternative Medicine
No comprehensive alternative medicine is useful for mesothelioma treatment. However, some options can help control symptoms. Many doctors often combine alternative and complementary approaches to make patients feel better. Common options include:
– Relaxation techniques: Slowly relaxing and tensing various muscle groups can make breathing easier.
– Breath training: You can work with a physical therapist or nurse to learn breathing techniques. They can make you feel better.
– Acupuncture: This technique inserts thin needles at specific points on the skin to allow blood to flow properly. [9]
