Gentle, Holistic Support for Cancer Patients in Palliative Care
At Almond Wellness Centre (Melbourne Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Centre), we are here to support cancer patients and their families during the most delicate times. Through acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, we provide natural, evidence-informed care designed to reduce symptoms, improve comfort, and support emotional and physical wellbeing during palliative care.
We also support patients with Home Care Packages (HCP) across Melbourne’s eastern and northern suburbs, including Ringwood, Croydon, Box Hill, Doncaster, Coburg and Preston
How We Can Help
Our integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach combines acupuncture with customised herbal formulas to gently support the body and mind through palliative cancer care.
These therapies may help with:
- Cancer-related pain (muscle, nerve, bone, post-surgical)
- Fatigue and low energy
- Nausea, vomiting, or poor appetite
- Constipation or poor digestion
- Peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling)
- Anxiety, depression, or sleep issues
- Night sweats and hot flushes
Our herbal formulas are selected based on your condition and care goals. Many are available in granule or capsule form, making them easier to take during periods of low energy.
All herbs we use are from trusted Australian suppliers and meet TGA safety standards.

- ✅ Cancer patients receiving palliative or supportive care
