The idea of "traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)" is a recent development. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Chinese government blended many forms of Chinese medicine into a unified health system. TCM practitioners use a wide range of treatments, ranging from meditation and acupuncture to herbal therapy and martial arts. TCM herbs have been reported to improve the therapeutic effectiveness and counteract adverse reactions to hormone therapy in treating nephrotic syndrome and reduce the recurrence of symptoms. More studies are needed to confirm these findings.


Chinese herbs can be potent and may interact with other herbs, foods, or drugs. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before taking. There have been reports of manufactured or processed Chinese herbal products being tainted with toxins or heavy metal or not containing the listed ingredients. Herbal products should be purchased from reliable sources. Avoid ephedra (ma huang). Avoid ginseng if pregnant or breastfeeding.
