Fibromyalgia (FM) and Chinese medicine

Fibromyalgia (FM) sufferers often feel tired have several tender points on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms or legs that hurt when touched. Autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis can predispose people to developing fibromyalgia. We have found that individualised Chinese herbal formulas are especially helpful in treating fibromyalgia, with a high rate of remission of symptoms. There may be no cure for fibromyalgia in Western medicine, but Chinese herbal medicines have helped fibromyalgia sufferers to become symptom free.

Some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM)
