Chinese Herbal Paste May Help Prevent Exacerbations of COPD

As reported in ScienceDaily (May 22, 2011) — A traditional Chinese herbal paste known as Xiao Chuan, or XCP, may help reduce winter exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a new study conducted by researchers in Beijing. The paste has been used to treat breathing difficulties in China for more than a thousand years.

The study was done with a group of 142 patients with COPD and asthma and were chosen to receive either the XCP paste applied to accupuncture points on their back, as has been done traditionally for many years, or receive a placebo paste. 

"Treatment with XCP significantly reduced the frequency of winter exacerbation compared with patients treated with placebo," Dr. Bian said. "XCP patients experienced statistically significant reductions in steroid use and episodes of shortness of breath, and XCP patients also reported an improved quality of life compared to those treated with placebo."

Is it any wonder that there is an overwhelming tide of people looking for and choosing natural remedies over pharmaceuticals? The fact is that Asian healers have been treating people for centuries with natural herbs and plants. So have native healers, and african medicine men. 

The modern world has lost touch with nature. We are so caught up in pharmaceuticals and the quick fix, that we don't even have the ability to listen to our bodies and know which foods to eat.
