Info:


"An old traditional Chinese medicine is said to reduce the
intestinal side effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. This
is done by stimulating gut cell division and reducing
inflammation in the body. The new findings were presented in
Science Translational Medicine, published by the nonprofit
science society AAAS. The chinese medicine Huang Qin Tang
consists of a combination of peonies and a purple flower called
skullcap, together with licorice and fruit from a buckthorn tree.
In China, this herbal medicine has been used for centuries to
treat intestinal disorders such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.

This finding was also confirmed recently in a Western-style phase
1/2 trial, which clearly showed that the drug reduced gut damage
caused by chemotherapy in colon and rectal cancer patients. "
