Why complementary therapy?

Complementary therapy can be used to help alleviate physical symptoms as well as improving mental health.

Complementary therapy and mesothelioma

For mesothelioma patients, gentle exercise, herbal medicine and mental health support and therapies can be extremely effective in alleviating symptoms and helping a patient cope with their treatment. Some patients also recommend mind-body therapies such as yoga, tai chi, qigong and meditation.
