Chinese Herbal Medicine (TCM) & Endometriosis
One of the best alternative
treatments for endometriosis (tumours in and around the reproductive
organs and tissues) is traditional Chinese herbal medicine according to
researchers at the Long Hua Hospital, Shanghai.
Seventy six women diagnosed
with endometriosis were given a prescription named endometriotic pill No 1
made up of rhubarb as the main ingredient. The chief functions of the
rhubarb in 1CM are stimulating the circulation and cleaning the blood of
impurities. The herbal medicine was found to be effective for 4 out of 5
of the patients, alleviating pelvic pain by an average of 66.72%, and
intercourse pain by 72.12%.
The researchers recommended
that the endometriotic pill No 1 could produce a distinct improvement in
the clinical symptoms and signs of endometriosis.
