Is treating chemotherapy-induced hot flashes different from treating the typical hot flashes of menopause?
An experienced acupuncturist usually customizes the treatment according to the patient’s symptoms. Chemotherapy-induced hot flashes have a different cause compared to hot flashes associated with menopause. Different acupuncture points may be used for each cause.
