Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic debilitating condition comprised of generalized body pain and stiffness, fatigue, insomnia, depression, and digestive complaints. Although this is a relatively recent Western medical disease diagnosis, Chinese medical practitioners have been treating body pain, fatigue, insomnia, depression, and digestive complaints for more than 2,000 years. In this book you will learn the Chinese medical theory of the cause of this condition. More than that, you will also learn a host of safe, simple, low or no cost home therapies to prevent and heal this all too common problem.
