Complementary or Alternative Medicine
In addition to medical procedures and prescribed medications, some complementary or alternative medicine can help alleviate symptoms of myelodysplastic syndromes. These include yoga, tai chi, aromatherapy, deep breathing techniques, acupuncture, and massage therapy. Although the therapies might not help with the production of healthy blood cells, they would be effective in improving certain symptoms, especially stress and anxiety. Keep in mind to talk with your doctor before starting these remedies to ensure they do not interfere with your current treatments. [9]
