Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through the skin at strategic points on the body. A key component of Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. It is also used to help relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to enhance psychological and physical well-being, including prevention of illness.

Massage
Massage involves the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, relieve muscular pain and induce relaxation.

Reflexology
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet and hands that correspond to organs and systems of the body. Applying pressure to these areas can help heal the body and alleviate stress.
