Moxibustion: A Traditional Approach to Cancer Treatment

The search for effective and safe treatments for cancer is an ongoing journey, much like exploring the vast and sometimes treacherous desert. This study investigates the potential of moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in people with cancer.
