Chinese herbs may improve quality of life for cancer patients
Chinese medicine found beneficial in treating cancer

Using Chinese herbs alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy may help protect a breast cancer patient’s bone marrow and immune system. It may also improve the overall quality of life for women, say researchers at the Chinese Cochrane Centre in Chengdu, China.

Those is search of some relief may wish to give Chinese medicinal herbs a try.”
