Cancer care is not just about survival—it’s about living well, both during and after treatment. While conventional therapies play a vital role in improving outcomes, integrative approaches, like acupuncture, offer an opportunity to enhance your quality of life and support long-term wellness.

At Drala, we take a thoughtful yet positive approach to acupuncture within integrative oncology. We blend the deep wisdom of Chinese Medicine with a contemporary understanding of cancer care, offering a balanced way to manage side effects and promote overall well-being. This isn’t about conforming to a rigid medical model—it's about combining the best of both worlds. With a focus on your unique journey, we aim to support you in feeling stronger, more comfortable, and ready to embrace life beyond treatment.

Often triggered by hormonal changes from cancer treatments or medications, can be disruptive to daily life. Acupuncture works to regulate the body’s thermoregulatory system, helping to moderate these hormonal imbalances.

It’s not just about easing immediate stress, but about building resilience so you feel more grounded and ready for what comes next.
