Posted on April 25th, 2007 by DAAN
Chinese herbs increase treatment options for patients with various diseases.
“With a history that exceeds 2,000 years, Chinese herbal medicine continues to gain popularity today. Chinese herbal medicine is one of the main modalities used in Traditional Chinese medicine, along with acupuncture, tuina and Chinese nutrition.
According to Chinese clinical studies, the more than 300 herbs that are commonly used can greatly increase the effectiveness of modern drug treatments and reduce side effects. In some cases, herbs have been used to replace modern drugs completely.
