Chinese herbal medicine for cancer-related fatigue: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings from limited number of trials suggest that Chinese herbal medicine seems to be effective and safe in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue.

Deepest Health Chinese Medicine Podcast 28 – Why should you care about acupuncture professional associations like the AAAOM?
Chinese Medicine Central Podcast 28 is chiefly taken up by my conversation spurred by this Acupuncture Today article concerning the disorganization and recent organizational dysfunction of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM). In that section, I believe I make a fairly compelling case for why you SHOULD care about national professional organizations, why we should think of ourselves as a profession at all, and a couple of quick ways you can (and should) get involved on the state or national level. At some point in recording this, I realized that I probably made a fairly good case for my bei...

Prevalence and factors associated with use of herbal medicine among women attending an infertility clinic in Uganda
Conclusions: The prevalence of herbal medicine use among women attending the infertility clinic was 76.2%.

Health professionals should enquire about use of herbal medicines. This may help in educating the patients about the health risks of using herbal medicine and may reduce delays in seeking appropriate care. Collaboration of hea...
