What is the chinese herb that is an alternative treatment for pulmonary fibrosis?
It be used for pulmonary fibrosis and COPD type problems?
Answer: Found this web page on the web: Experimental Study on Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis by Chinese Drugs and Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine ( It's contained by Chinese ... http://scholar.ilib.cn/Abstract.aspx?A=z... ) - The last sentence reads: salvia miltiorrhiza treatment to Pulmonary Fibrosis have curative effect.
Doederlein's Spikemoss herb (Latin name: Herba Selaginellae Doederleinii) is use to cure lungs and nose cancer. You may try these two herb combined. Consult your TCM practitioner before using them..
You would need ot see your chinese prescription practitioner for the herbal formula. Each formula is combined specifically for the patient. Chinese medicine does not look at the pulmonary fibrosis as the problem but as the symptym, depending on the combination of underlying cause your formula may differ somewhat from someone else with a similar condition brought on by different causes.
There are dependable herbs that are standard ingredients for a given type of problem but your specific formula should be made for you. These are pharmaceutical herbs and should be used beneath the care and direction of your chinese medicine practitioner only at your western medicine should be used under the direction of your doctor.
The skep doc is palpably not aware that chinese medicine is proving efficacious by scientific study for more and more conditions. He also appears uninformed of the huge money and political power of the pharmaceutical companies that hold high stakes in one able to offer treatments for diseases but not cures. I used to work both as a consultant and as an hand for a pharmaceutical company in their research department. There is a lot of money and power invested within not finding cures.
Good luck in your search, I hope you can find a practitioner to provide you beside the formula that will serve you best..
