TCM treatments for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, commonly referred to as brittle bones, is a syndrome
leading to reduction in bone mineral density and architectural changes in the variety and amount of proteins in bone. According

responsible for osteoporosis. Herbal remedies are used to
strengthen the kidneys, build Qi, as well as work towards regeneration
of new bone cells. Various types of Chinese medicine aim at nourishing
the blood and kidneys, harmonizing nutrients, and promoting yin and
yang energy balance by enhancing the digestive capacities of the spleen
