Amazing Effectiveness of Chinese Herbs

Herbal Medicine Cures Chronic Fatigue
Chapter 2

Naomi knew she had to do something, but she had no idea what and was plainly perplexed. It was at this time that a friend introduced her to a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor. She did not expect much, thinking the doctor would say it was just stress like all the other doctors, but went to see him anyway because her friend recommended him.

The examination, however, was totally different from those she had experienced at the other hospitals. She was expecting a three-minute examination but the examination lasted thirty minutes, with the doctor asking many questions about her symptoms. She had a feeling that this doctor could cure her. Answering the doctor's questions, she felt much better.

At the end of the examination, the doctor prescribed her some herbal medicine. The doctor explained to her that the medicine was made from Chinese herbs, made of natural ingredients.

She did not feel much change the first month she started taking the medicine, but she realized her fatigue gradually becoming lighter after the second month. Every time she went to the hospital for her medicine, the doctor explained to her in an easily understandable manner what was happening inside her body. This made her feel that she was getting better day by day, and gave her the strength to continue her treatment patiently.

Six months later, she was able to wake up in the mornings without any problems. She was also able to concentrate on her work and enjoy her days off going shopping and so forth.

The formula which saved Naomi from chronic fatigue is as follows:

TCM uses Astragalus membranaceus (Radix) and Panax ginseng (Radix) to invigorate qi, which will be explained later. Astragalus membranaceus (Radix) and Panax ginseng (Radix) are also effective for chronic fatigue and loss of strength.
