More clinical trials are needed into the benefits of complementary therapies for cancer patients, says one expert.
Professor Leslie Walker said many patients benefit from relaxation therapy and "guided imagery" - or visualising the body beating tumours.
The Cancer Research UK scientist says trials should look at the safety and cost of other complementary therapies.
Current trials include the effects of reflexology and scalp massage on 180 women with early-stage breast cancer.
Did you know that Christmas is typically one of the most stressful events of the year? Stress, anxiety and depression are common during the festive season.
Oh, the joys of Christmas shopping. Been to a shopping centre lately? Enjoy the crowds? Isn’t the rush and crush great? Of course, we all know exactly what to buy for everybody, don’t we? Parking is no problem and the weather is great. And those gifts are so easy to find for that ever growing circle of family and friends. And, no guilt feelings over the amount we are spending on these gifts.
I was very excited. It was a week that I would never forget - it was the first week of my new Reflexology practice and my promotion had already created two customers. My very first customer won a session at “half-price” for coming in second. Actually it wasn’t such a big deal, that is coming in second. Everybody who entered my contest and didn’t win the grand prize, won second prize – a full Reflexology session at half-price.
The grand prize winner booked her “freebie”, and became my second client. My promotion was working three days at a major health expo with 50 other Reflexologists. First prize was a free Reflexology session.
