According to Chinese clinical studies, the more than 300 herbs that are commonly used can greatly increase the effectiveness of modern drug treatments and reduce side-effects. In some cases, herbs have been used to replace modern drugs completely.

Patients improve more quickly when they are receiving regular acupuncture treatments and taking Chinese herbs simultaneously.
