Can Chinese medicinal herbs relieve chronic fatigue syndrome: Part 1

Unfortunately there is no great treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome and this has led many people to turn to alternative health care supplements.

It is estimated that there are close to 5-10 million people with this disorder in the USA alone but the numbers are much higher world wide.

For some unknown reason people have been flocking to Chinese therapies for all their medical ailments. Some individuals seek Chinese herbs because of the mystic; some may have read reports and others because they have no choice.

There is ample written about Chinese herbal medicine but much of it is not based on science but mostly based on folk lore, anecdotal reports and “grand ma tales.”

Now North American researchers assessed the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine herbal products in treating chronic fatigue syndrome.

The results of various randomized clinical trials involving Chinese herbs and chronic fatigue were analyzed. More than 2400 references were evaluated.
