Description
Medical Applications of Reflexology: Findings in Research about Cancer Care Research has shown that reflexology can have a significant impact on the physical and emotional symptoms experienced by cancer patients. Studies from eleven countries have demonstrated improvements in various aspects of the cancer experience, including the management of symptoms during chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These findings suggest that reflexology can help alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, anxiety, fatigue, and depression. In addition to its benefits during chemotherapy, reflexology has also been shown to improve post-operative care and palliative/hospice care for cancer patients. By reducing pain and anxiety, reflexology can provide a helping presence and improve quality of sleep. This book presents the research findings on the medical applications of reflexology in cancer care, providing valuable insights for healthcare professionals and those seeking alternative therapies.
