Chinese Herbal Medicine for Depression, Lack of Energy
Sherri Matthew's reply: Hi Sherri, Chinese herbal medicine is typically effective for depression and lack of energy. In Chinese medicine, certain organs are commonly involved in depression and tiredness, such as the liver, spleen and kidneys. To know which herbal medicine is right for you, you first need a Chinese medicine diagnosis. A Western medicine diagnosis is not enough to prescribe Chinese herbal medicine. A Chinese herbal medicine practitioner will also be able to give you specific dietary and lifestyle advice to help you overcome your depression and lack of energy. Are there such practitioners in your area? One site that may help you find one is Acufinder.com. This article on depression adds to what I have written above. If you have any general questions about taking Chinese herbal medicine for depression, lack of energy, etc, just post below. All the best, Matthew |
