About this Book

Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic debilitating condition characterized by body pain and stiffness, fatigue, insomnia, depression, and digestive complaints. Although this is a relatively recent disease diagnosis in Western medicine, Chinese medical practitioners have been treating these symptoms for more than 2,000 years. Sufferers of fibromyalgia will learn the Chinese medical theory of the cause of this condition, as well as safe, simple, low-cost home therapies to prevent and heal this common problem. Included is information about Chinese dietary therapy, acupuncture, Chinese herbs and teas, Chinese foot reflexology, and finding a professional practitioner of Chinese medicine.
