Acupuncture & Acupressure
Acupuncture is a form of Complementary medicine that involves inserting fine needles in different parts of the body. It is a common procedure used in pain relief, which includes joint pain and headaches. As with all complementary medicines, it is unclear whether it is unclear, but it does in most cases make the patient feel better. Acupressure is similar, but instead of needles, the points have pressure applied to them. These treatments are often used by cancer patients to relieve pain and headaches. These resources will help people make informed decisions on whether this would be the right treatment for them.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses essential oils and plant extracts as a form of physical and mental healing. It works by using these essential oils and extracts to absorb through the skin, and reported benefits include pain management, stress reduction, and sleep quality improvement. It is also used by patients who have been through chemotherapy as a way to manage and contain side effects from the treatment. Although there is not too much academic literature out there regarding the effects of aromatherapy, it can still be a viable option for many people out there.
