Chinese medicine is superior for endometriosis

Endometriosis: Chinese medicine superior to medication

Endometriosis is debilitating conditions. In the quest for relief, we turn to surgery and hormonal drugs, which often come with unpleasant side effects and a high probability of endometriosis reappearing. Acupuncture for endometriosis has been steadily gaining scientific recognition and popularity among women, but how about Chinese herbal medicines?

The Studies: Exploring the Potential of Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbal medicine following laparoscopic surgery in Endometriosis patients achieved better symptom control compared to conventional medication Danazol and was comparable to Gestrinone. Furthermore, the patients taking Chinese medicine reported fewer side-effects.

Andrew Flower, PhD, of Southampton University in Ringmer, England, reported the findings in the Cochrane Reviews.

While these initial results paint an optimistic picture of Chinese medicinal herb’s potential in treating endometriosis, we must be cautious not to leap to conclusions. More rigorous, high-quality randomised controlled trials are necessary to accurately assess TCM role in treating this painful condition. As we continue to unravel the mysteries of time-tested treatments like Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, we remain hopeful that new pathways to relief may be discovered for those grappling with endometriosis.

Chinese herbs superior to drugs easing menstrual cramps

Chinese herbal medicine provides significant pain relief for women with menstrual cramps, researchers from University of Western Sydney show.

Women with period pains are often offered either nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or oral contraceptives. Both of the options have drawbacks, including the short and long term side-effects. Many women find these treatments don’t work or that they would prefer a natural alternative.

A review of 39 controlled trials in 3,475 women found that Chinese herbal medicine was superior to pharmaceutical drugs providing significant pain relief. It relieved overall symptoms even better than acupuncture.

There was no indication that Chinese herbal medicine caused any adverse events, making it the first choice for relieving menstrual cramps.
