Chinese Herbs Prove Best for Stomach Pain

Those seeking help from stomach pain would be better off taking Chinese herbal medicine or having none at all than relying on western medicine, new research shows. A Chinese University study of 84 people suffering from bowel irritation found that 46 per cent of one group taking Chinese medicine said their condition improved, 39 per cent of a group taking a placebo reported less pain, but only 29 per cent on western medicine felt any better.
