Yang Institute’s Cancer Care and United for Her

Breast cancer was the most common cancer in women. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in America.

Although the survival rate is getting higher (the 5- and 10-year relative survival rates of 90% and 83% respectively for women with invasive breast cancer, according to the statistical data), these women endured an arduous journey of cancer treatments, and the side effects that accompanied chemotherapy, and radiotherapy treatments. It usually takes them years to recover from the damage and regain health and wellness.

At Yang Institute, we recognize that energetic imbalances contributed to the development of cancer in the first place. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy further deplete and disturb one’s energy flow and result in pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, and depression.

Because acupuncture helps counteract the energetic side effects of the cancer treatments and underlying energetic imbalance that had caused cancer in the first place, it is an essential part of the integrative therapies that cancer patients need.

Yang Institute’s Acupuncture Clinic has been part of the “United for Her” program for years and has helped many women not only survive but thrive.

I have suffered from stage 4 breast cancer and have exhausted all medical treatments possible. I know I may never get rid of the cancer, but I want to be alive and functional.

Acupuncture at the Tao in the past 8 years has contributed a great deal to achieving my goal: living happy and healthy”.

Health Lift and Facelift for Women

In addition to aging and sun damage, skin health reflects one’s health of internal organs that relate to the skin. Since each facial acupuncture treatment helps improve internal organ health, it is also a health lift.

Facial acupuncture is a clinically proven needling technique used to improve the skin’s blood flow, soften the fine lines and wrinkles, increase the skin’s collagen, and brighten the eye’s dark circles.

A treatment of 12 to 24 sessions usually elicits signs of vitality and radiance to the face from the inside out.

Holistic Weight Loss

In addition to the stress-related craving, women usually gain weight after labor and nursing. Although some may restore to their normal weight in 6 to12 months, many women have to deal with being overweight for years.

Unlike some popular weight loss methods that focus on selecting specific diets, acupuncture treatment helps suppress appetite, increase the body’s metabolism, and enhance digestive functioning. It is, therefore, a safe and healthy approach for weight control.
